[...] Når det ikke ser sådan ud, skyldes det ifølge ham, at den version af afhandlingen, som både den tyske plagieringsgruppe og tilsyneladende også institutlederen på hans gamle institut i Esbjerg har set, er et falsum, og at han er udsat for et komplot." (Researcher at the University of Southern Denmark is suspected of cheating. He insists that he has been the victim of a conspiracy [...] The reason it does not look like that is that the version of his dissertation that is being used by both the German plagiarism group and apparently also the administration at his old institute in Esbjerg is not the correct one, he is the victim of a conspiracy.

Thanks for all the good and hard work you have done. It is outrageous that with all the evidence that you have gathered regarding the "thesis" of this "professor", he still insists that there is a "complot" against him. He is cynic, specially when some other papers of the same author have been reported to contain also plagiarized material. Making this case public is nothing personal against Nasrrulah Memon, but it is good that these cases are known to the public not only for the good of science but also for the good of society. Many of these "scientists" try to become "stars" not only by cheating with their thesis but also by convincing other people that may not know about their subject of their "authority" on the topic by the number of "papers" they are capable of producing in a short period of time using basically "copy and paste" and writing versions of papers that are minor modifications i.e. autoplagiarism. This seems to be the case of Nasrrulah Memon. However, it is naive to assume that nobody will notice such big amount of cheating specially when the author has so many papers published. These papers show that he plagiarized much of his "thesis". He can not deny the plagiarism contained in these papers and say that "somebody" has altered these papers or that there is a "complot". I have searched for his name on Google and it is incredible and very unfortunate that with his "background" he appears as "editor" of a Journal published by Springer. This is the link:
