PALAKKAD: K Vidya admitted that she forged documents to become a guest lecturer. According to the report submitted by the investigating team, Vidya testified that she fabricated a fake work experience certificate to get the job when she came to know that there was a vacancy for Malayalam teachers in Karindalam College and there was a girl named Rasita who had more qualifications than her.

Vidya is said to have created a fake work experience certificate in the name of Maharajas College on her own mobile phone. The content for the certificate was prepared using the MS Word application on mobile. The college's seal, designation seal and signature were taken from the certificate she received from Maharaja's College while doing Aspire Fellowship. It was scanned using cam scanner and converted into an image. After that, each of the above was cropped separately and included in the certificate. The logo of the college was taken from Google. Vidya created two work experience certificates of different durations this way.

Two certificates were produced stating that she worked as a guest teacher in Maharajas College Malayalam Department from 4-6-2018 to 31-3-2019 and from 10-6-2020 to 31-3-2021. It is shown that the first certificate was received from the college on 01.04.2019 and the second one on 01.04.2021.

The certificate was converted to PDF and printed. Vidya says she can't remember where the print was taken from. She is saying that she bought a new mobile phone because the phone she was using fell down and the display got damaged. According to the police report, she left the mobile phone in the waste basket of room 4C along with unnecessary items when Vidya vacated her apartment in Chittoor Road, Ernakulam. Vidya tore up the fake certificate at the Attapadi Pass on the way back recognizing that she will be caught.

In the resume filled in by the accused in her own handwriting at RGM College, Attappady at the time of the interview, in the work experience column, it is written Govt Art and Science College Karinthalam - 10 months, Govt Arts and Science College Pathiripala - 7 months and Maharajas 20 months. The investigation team submitted the original documents to the court.
