Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Mazhar Anwar Khan, the president of Khuldabad-based Kohinoor Education Society and his wife and secretary of the education society Asma Khan were booked with Tilaknagar Police Station in Bengaluru for preparing a fake degree and mark sheet of BHMS courses.

As per the complaint lodged by Registration of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) Dr Riyaz Basha at Tilaknagar Police Station in Bengaluru, on August 7, 2024, Gade Orthopaedic Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar had sent Asman Khan's mark sheet for verification.
