FILE - In this Feb. 4, 2011 file photo, activists of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth wing break police barricades at a protest in New Delhi, India, against alleged radio collars placed on Indian students of the Tri-Valley University in California. Several Indian students of the U.S. university, shut down on charges of a massive immigration fraud, were forced to wear radio collars around their ankles so that the U.S. authorities could keep a tab on their movements. Investigators say Tri-Valley was among the largest school fraud scams they encountered, involving hundreds of mostly Indian nationals living in cities as far away from Pleasanton as Miami, Chicago and Honolulu.

Its website featured smiling students in caps and gowns and promised a leafy campus in a San Francisco Bay Area suburb.
