Dehradun, July 10 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday filed a chargesheet against yoga guru Baba Ramdev's close aide Acharya Balkrishna in connection to a fake documents case.
The CBI filed the chargesheet before a special court on the basis of the investigation conducted by it.
The probe agency alleged that Balkrishna submitted fake educational certificates in order to get a passport.
The CBI also accused Balkrishna of violating provisions of the Passport Act.
A case of cheating and criminal conspiracy was earlier registered by the CBI against Balkrishna for buying fake degrees and also violating section 12 of Indian Passport Act.
The probe agency took the decision after Sampurna Nand Sanskrit University Registrar Rajnish Shukla told it that university records did not feature the two degrees mentioned by Ramdev's aide.
Balkrishna's degrees reportedly showed he had passed two courses- 'Purv Madhyma' and 'Shastri'- from the university.
Shukla said the CBI found the enrollment numbers as mentioned in Balkrishna's degrees belonged to another student.
