Arjun used to target students who have had a gap of three to four years after PUC or have done only one year of a degree course. According to reports by the New Indian Express, one such person who was duped by Arjun on the pretext of a degree marks card from Periyar University approached the police after which the cops raided the office to find many marks sheets and birth, degree, and PG certificates with names of candidates written on them. There were many blank certificates too. The cops found documents and fake marks cards of about 300 students and believe that there might be more. The police are meanwhile investigating the matter further.
