Two more arrests were made during ongoing investigations by the Delhi Police crime branch into a city-wide school admissions racket on the basis of fake Economically Weaker Section (EWS) certificates on Friday.

Identified as Arun Kumar, who owns and operates a small photocopy shop and one Hukum Singh, the accused were connected to the latest module of specialising in getting children admitted to prominent city schools on the basis of fake documentation, said Ravindra Yadav, joint commissioner of police (crime).

Mr. Yadav said, one Neeraj had been arrested recently after it was learnt that he had managed 10 admissions at the Lancer Convent School in Rohini under the EWS quota using fake documents.

It was his intensive and tactful interrogation, according to Mr. Yadav, that led the police to the associate Kumar on June 25 and the seizure of equipment used by him for preparing fake EWS certificates and residence proofs.
