The Kerala University has asked the principal of Milad- e- Sharif (MSM) College, Kayamkulam, to provide a detailed explanation regarding the admission of Students Federation of India (SFI) member, Nikhil Thomas, who has been accused of submitting a fake degree certificate to secure admission to the MCom course in the college.
This comes after the police filed a case against Thomas for cheating and forgery. He has been absconding since the matter came to light.
The SFI has now expelled him.
Thomas, had studied BCom during 2017-20 at MSM College but he had failed to clear his exams. He then allegedly produced a fake certificate from Kalinga University, Raipur to take admission in the MCom course in 2021.
Recently, another member of the SFI, K Vidya was accused of submitting a forged experience certificate to apply for the job of a guest lecturer in a government college at Attappadi in Palakkad district.
