According to exclusive information with CNN-IBN, the Tri Valley University was allowed to enroll only 30 students, but it had 1500 students enrolled with it. Shockingly , the university sold work permits to students otherwise not eligible to work in the US.

700 students were shown in university records to be living in one apartment. Now hundreds of students, mostly from Andhra Pradesh, face the prospect of deportation from the US.

While asking for strict action against the promoters of the institute, Foreign Minister SM Krishna said that what US authorities have done is unacceptable. He said, "The way some of the s! tudents have been treated by the authority is unacceptable."

Asking for information from the US, Krishna said, "We have asked the US to give us information as and when the investigations unfold. We make special request to the US that strict action should be taken against the organisers of such dubious institutes."
