Mangaluru, Aug 26 : Four people from Kerala were arrested at the Talapady borders for producing fake RT-PCR negative report to enter Karnataka’s Mangaluru Today.
Police said the arrested persons have been identified as Hanin, Adil, Ismail and Abdul Tamim.
All the four had tried to enter Mangaluru after showing an edited RT-PCR report in their mobile phone. Police personnel on scrutinising the document found it was fake. They were later arrested and produced before the court.
As many people who are arriving from Kerala are testing positive for Covid, the administration here has decided to verify the RT-PCR negative reports which they produce.(UNI)
