Naveed was running "MH Consultancy near Yadagiri Theatre in Santosh Nagar. Due to the lockdown, he suffered a huge loss in his business. In May 2021, he started another consultancy "Cubez Overseas Education Services Private Limited '' at Basheerbagh, Hyderabad for the admissions and VISA process for those students who intend to study abroad. The students should have educational memorandums with good grades and must have clear I-20, IELTS/PTE, and certificates like DUOLINGO.

Many dropouts and low-scoring students approached his consultancy and expressed their desire to apply in any foreign country for Diploma Courses or higher studies. Based on the demand of some of these students, Nadheem hatched a plan to create the required certificates illegally.

He created fake certificates and sent students with low grades abroad for further studies. In this process, he appointed Syed Nadheem a DTP employee, and Mohammed Abraruddin for arranging customers.

He used to take failed marks memos and low marks memos of the candidates and convert them into memos with good grades and marks. Accordingly, he sent students illegally to foreign countries and collected Rs.70,000 to 80.000 from each candidate.
