College chairman arrested for faking fee reimbursement claim

Hyderabad: Keesara police arrested Vasanth Tharun Kumar (45), chairman of Hasvita Institute of Engineering and Technology in Keesara, for cheating a student and the state government through fee reimbursement scheme.
On June 20, G Anitha (27), of Nalgonda, lodged a complaint with the Keesara police alleging that for the academic year 2013-15, she took admission in Hasvita Institute of Engineering through web counselling in M Tech first year.When Anitha, who belongs to the Scheduled Tribe, went to pay the first semester examination fees at the college, the management refused to accept it unless she paid Rs 5,500 as college development fees.
As she did not have sufficient money to pay the development fee, Anitha then left the college with her certificates. Though Anitha left, the college management, using forged documents, claimed Rs 57,000 as fee reimbursement amount for Anitha from the tribal welfare department.
After a detailed probe, police arrested Vasanth (45) on Tuesday and remanded him in judicial custody. Police were looking into all records of the college to see if they had committed more such frauds.
