Despite repeatedly exposing scammers selling fake vaccination certificates across the city, there seems to be no end to this malpractice. In the past month, the city cops have registered four cases involving bogus vaccination certificates, which are being sold for up to Rs 1,500. The police said mobile numbers of ordinary citizens are being misused to generate these documents for unvaccinated people.

Several places in the city, including local trains, require users to be fully vaccinated. This is pushing a lot of unvaccinated people to take the illegal route. On Wednesday, the Unit X of the Crime Branch arrested two persons, both 21 years of age, from Siddharth Hospital in Goregaon West for allegedly selling fake vaccination certificates for Rs 1,500.
