If someone falsely claims to hold a PhD degree, you can file a complaint with the police under sections 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. You can also sue them for damages in civil court for misrepresentation and fraud.

Previous Article I recently got a small, foldable Victorinox Swiss knife, like the ones everyone uses. Its blade is around 3 inches long, perfect for opening packages and cutting food at work.
