Complaint Regarding Fraudulent Practices and Exploitation by Artisan Tek Institute

I would like to bring attention to the unethical practices of 'Artisan Tek,' an institute run by Nagaraj Modhulla and Adityavardhan Garapati. This unregistered institute is preying on job-seeking individuals by falsely promising employment opportunities in exchange for fabricated experience certificates. The institute offers basic courses that only serve to assist in creating these fake certificates, charging INR 20,000 from each participant to initiate the process. After completing the course, individuals who were led to believe they would secure a job are then confronted with an additional demand of INR 1 lakh. Failure to pay this amount results in the forfeiture of their education certificates, effectively trapping the students. Furthermore, the institute operates solely online and does not have a legitimate physical office, further raising concerns about its credibility and intentions.

It has come to light that the management of the institute is allegedly being conducted from an off-the-records office, with all operations seemingly taking place at this undisclosed location:
Srinivasa Real estate office,
Near MRF showroom, Ramkishore colony
Gangavathi road, Sindhanur - 584128
