The Upparpet police arrested a 35-year-old travel agent for allegedly selling fake COVID-19 certificates to people wishing to travel outside Karnataka. Acting on a tip-off, a team of police led by Inspector C.B. Shvaswamy raided a shop in Manivartapete and arrested the travel agent Sampat Lal. During the raid, they recovered a letterhead of a private diagnostic centre and three COVID-19 negative test reports that appeared to be signed by doctors. Sanjeev Patil, DCP, (West), said that the accused was charging anywhere between ₹3,000 and ₹4,000 for each report. “He managed to create several such documents, which he sold to people travelling to Rajasthan and West Bengal. We will be alerting our counterparts in the two States to identify the buyers of these documents for further action,” Mr. Patil said.
