Police arrested a 42-year-old man for running a fake diploma institute and cheating youngsters to the tune of ₹40 lakh on Wednesday. The arrested suspect, K Thirugnanam, was remanded in Puzhal prison later in the day.
The bogus institute was exposed after one of the duped students, T Sandhya, 18, of Avadi, lodged a police complaint against Thirugnanam.
Police said Thirugnanam rented a building in Chepauk and ran a polytechnic institute from it for the past three months. He had not obtained permission from the government agencies concerned to run the institute. “He had advertised in a few vernacular newspapers about his institute and believing his attractive offers and promise of diploma, jobs, at least 40 students approached him,” a police officer said. Thirugnanam collected ₹40,000 from each student for course material.
Though daily classes were scheduled, the students were left idle most days. When questioned about the classes, Thirugnanam said teachers did not turn up, police quoted the complainant as saying. Following this, the student lodged a complaint.
