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.
