Hyderabad: LB Nagar police arrested six people from a group involved in selling fake educational and official certificates in the city. Another seven are absconding, officials said on Friday.
The racket was being run from a notary shop called Satvik Enterprises, located opposite the Saroornagar municipal office. The main accused, Bhanu Prakash, and his wife Sagarika were operating the shop. According to police, the couple had been preparing fake birth, income, caste, and land sale documents for nearly nine years.
