Vigil intensified against use of forged RT-PCR certificates for travel

Validity of documents to be checked at multiple points

With some inter-State passengers producing fake RT-PCR certificates to secure travel clearance, the Police and Health departments have adopted intensified screening measures at various points covering border checkposts, railway stations and bus stands.

The validity of the certificate is likely to be checked at multiple points to ensure that no inter-State passenger bypasses screening measures.

The details of some passengers who left the State after producing fabricated RT-PCR certificate are with the police, who will carry out further investigation. The Karnataka police have registered cases against four youths from Kozhikode district who recently crossed a Karnataka checkpost by submitting fake documents.
