Man arrested for making, selling fake COVID-19 reports, passports in Bengaluru
Anekal: Hulimavu Police on Thursday arrested a person on charges of running a scandal of fake COVID-19 test reports and fake passports.
The arrested accused has been identified as Nipunn (30), a resident of Trissur in Kerala.
According to the reports, the accused was running his business from a house near Hulmavu here. Nipunn reportedly used to work as an agent to get college admissions to students but owing to lockdown and COVID restrictions his business had stopped.
Prompted by the situation and financial constraints, Nipunn started making faking COVID test reports and fake passports, police said.
Police further added that Nipunn used to interact with his clients through Facebook and WhatsApp to make fake COVID test reports and passports and after an online transfer of money he would hand over the document to the clients.
He reportedly used to charge a sum of Rs. 2000 – 5000 per fake COVID test report and Rs 25,000 – 5,00,000 for a fake passport.
Several fake reports, laptops, and machines were seized from the accused after his arrest.

Abhigyan Kundu hits 209 not out for first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India
Dubai (PTI): Wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu on Tuesday created history with first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India, scoring an unbeaten against Malaysia in the U-19 Asia Cup match here.
The 17-year-old Kundu thus recorded only the second instance of a double century in Youth ODIs after South Africa's Jorich Van Schalkwyk, who had scored 215 off 153 balls against Zimbabwe earlier this year in Harare.
Batting at No 5, the left-handed Kundu hit an overall 19 fours and seven sixes to smash 209 not out off only 125 balls.
His knock powered India U-19 to a huge 408 for seven batting first.
Earlier in the same tournament, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had scored a 95-ball 171 against the UAE, which is overall the ninth highest individual score in the format.
