The incident involves Aryan Anand, a 19-year-old Indian student who was arrested after his elaborate forgery was caught by the university, owing to his confession through an anonymous Reddit post.

It was later revealed that Anand had secured admission to the university with a full scholarship by forging multiple documents, including fake transcripts, financial statements, and even his father's fake death certificate.

This has led the university to consider partnering with a third-party service like World Education Services (WES) for document verification.

While multiple parties are to be blamed, one thing becomes crystal clear - The rules need to be reformed to prevent any such fraud in the future.
