The investigation has revealed the gang's extensive network, which not only produced counterfeit educational documents but also distributed them across state lines. The recovery of multiple fake documents from different universities indicates a well-organized operation.

Authorities are now focusing on dismantling the entire supply chain and identifying the masterminds behind the racket. The police have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in the investigation. Further arrests are anticipated as the probe continues.
