WASHINGTON, JAN 30
Concerned over the plight of scores of Indian students radio-tagged by United States authorities after being duped by a “sham” university, the Indian embassy here has asked the Obama administration to ensure that none of them is victimised and also launched an email helpline for them.
The students, mostly from Andhra Pradesh, are facing the prospect of deportation as authorities last week shut down the Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, a major suburb in San Francisco Bay Area, on charges of a massive immigration fraud.
These students are now frantically knocking at the doors of colleges begging for admission in their desperate attempt to save their academic careers and avoid deportation.
