The Gurugram Police have made another arrest in the ongoing investigation into a fraudulent school accreditation case involving Educrust International School. This time, the school's principal, Riddhima Kataria, has been detained in connection with the charges.

The arrest comes after a complaint was filed by parents of a Class 10 student who was unable to take her board exams due to not receiving an admit card. The investigation revealed that the school falsely claimed to be CBSE-accredited up to the 10th grade.

Several other staff members, including the school chairman, were previously arrested in connection to the scam, as they allegedly showed fake accreditation certificates to enroll students in higher classes.
