Ernakulam: Officials from the Ernakulam Central Police Station arrived at Maharajas college on Tuesday evening and recorded the principal’s statement in the case of forging documents under the name of the college. The principal told the officers that the accused did not receive any help from the college. Kochi police said that the incident took place under the jurisdiction of Agali police station and the case will be handed over to them. The forgery was exposed when Vidya produced the fake certificate for an interview as the Malayalam guest lecturer at Government College, Attappadi, on June 2.
