The Vemulawada police have arrested a gang that was making passports with fake certificates and were committing illegalities and sent them to jail. In this regard, Vemulawada DSP Nagendra Chari held a press meet and said that the Vemulawada police have caught some gang members who were making passports with fake certificates for those who are going to other Gulf countries and were collecting huge amounts of money for that. In Vemulawada and Rajanna Sirisilla districts by making fake 10th class certificates money was collected by taking advantage of innocent people. They are charging very huge amounts by making fake certificates along changing age. 12 passports obtained through fake certificates were seized. Those 12 persons attached fake SSC memo certificates stating that they had studied SSC in schools like Z.P.H.S Vemulawada, Z.P.H.S Boinapalli and Z.P.H.S Chandurthi and applied to Indian Passports and got passports.
