Fake website of private university in UP, FIR lodged

Lucknow, June 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) The registrar of a private university, under BBD police circle, has lodged a case against unidentified persons for creating a fake website of the varsity.

In the FIR, the registrar said the web page of the university was taking it to the website of another technical university which was in no way linked with the university he represented.

“When we clicked the website, a page of our university opened having details of our varsity and an application form for admission. When the application form was filled and submitted, the webpage showed the name of a technical university located at Dewa Road. We have no link or affiliation with this university,” the FIR said.

The fake website contained details that are quite similar to the website of the private university.

“The miscreants had created the web page to mislead the students looking for admission and to damage the reputation of the private university. Also, it appears that the miscreants aimed at financial benefits,” the complaint said.

Additional DCP, east zone, Syed Ali Abbas, said an FIR was registered and cyber cell has been roped in to track the group behind the incident.
