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.
