The team was surprised to find the large-scale illegal set up of the university, the amount of medicines, samples, and packing machines. During the raid, the team recovered thousands of fake degrees from the university, which has also been manufacturing sub-standard medicines.

The self-styled university has duped thousands of students on the pretext of giving them medical degree in Electro Complex Homoeopathy. But the students, who get the degree only after paying a heavy fee, have no future, as the course is not recognised in India and they cannot practice the system of medicine here.

Despite a High Court order to shut down the illegally functioning university, the father-son duo of VV Sinha and Deepak Sinha continued to fool students and the general public. Though, both of them were detained by the police, they were let off after political pressure from some ministers and higher authorities.

That the father and son are politically well-connected was evident from the fact that the CMO was asked to refrain from lodging an FIR against them. Talking to HT the CMO said, “We were directed to seal the premises of the university.

There were no instruction to also lodge an FIR against them.”

Earlier, the Sinhas had failed to get the university legalised from the Supreme Court, which rejected their application against the High Court order.
