Suspected Network Producing Fake Birth and Death Certificates Discovered in Bhopal
Authorities in Bhopal have uncovered a suspected network producing fake birth and death certificates, with officials detecting about two fraudulent certificates weekly. These fake documents, reportedly generated online for as little as Rs 20, replicate official formats and digital signatures without requiring supporting documents. The racket was exposed during investigations into fake passport and insurance claims. Despite misuse of genuine identities, affected individuals rarely report the fraud, complicating enforcement efforts.
