India to be ‘ruthless’ with fake education agents

Melbourne, August 08: Amid reports that scores of Indian students were among those duped in a massive education scam in Australia, India today said it will be “ruthless” with the rogue education agents who take gullible youths for a ride.

The Indian government will go after unscrupulous education agents in the country as part of its effort to control the student crisis, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna told a press conference here.

“We will be ruthless” with the fake agents who paint a rosy picture and take gullible students for a ride, Krishna, who is on a five-day visit here, said when asked what measures the Indian government will be taking to tackle the issue.
