FIR against 10 for fraud in processing caste certificates

Police have registered an FIR against 10 people, including four staffers of an eseva centre in Thane, for allegedly indulging in a fraud in processing caste certificates, an official said on Sunday. Some people sought caste certificates for their children and submitted applications along with forged documents at an e-seva kendra in the city last year, he said.

Despite the e-seva kendra staff being allegedly aware of the fabricated documents, they forwarded them to the sub-divisional office (SDO) here, the official from Thane Nagar police station said.
