Central Crime Branch sleuths on Friday swooped down on a duo who issued fake Covid-negative certificates on the sly without conducting tests.
The duo belongs to the Skyline Diagnostic Centre in Nagamma Layout in RT Nagar’s Kaval Byrasandra, which has no tie-ups with the government to conduct Covid tests.
Police said they utilised the government guidelines on the Covid surge, contacted friends and others in need of Covid-negative certificates and issued them by collecting cash or payments via UPI transfers.
CCB officials have seized 50 fake Covid-negative certificates and two mobile phones from them.
Officials are also looking into the number of people who took the illegal certificates from them, the purpose of getting the certificate and how much they paid them.
They have registered a case against the duo in the DJ Halli police station and further investigations are on.
