    Usually the problem with these universities is that they are scammy private institutions geared specifically towards Indian students. He did not go to a regular German University but a private one.

    I found on another newspage that the main problem is that all the “University’s” classes are online. Therefore there is no reason for a visa, since the students can just as well take the classes from India.

      There’s a similar plague of “degree mill” universities in Australia, often targeting Indian and Chinese students, who then end up overstaying their visa and/or working more hours than their student visa allows (more than 20hrs/week I think). It’s abuse of the system that makes it more difficult for legitimate international students attending a real university.
