Haridwar District Magistrate Mayur Dixit has directed all district tehsils, municipal corporations, and gram panchayats in the district to investigate all certificates issued in the last five years, including permanent residence certificates, caste certificates, and income certificates. He also formed a special task force for this purpose. Following the DM’s instructions, Haridwar Tehsildar Sachin Kumar today inspected a CSC center in Mustafabad village and randomly checked documents. During the inspection, a permanent residence certificate application was found to have been forged. Upon discovering the fraud, the CSC center’s license has been suspended.
A complaint was filed by the Tehsildar at the Jwalapur police station, stating that CSC operator Sajid, a resident of Mustafabad, had applied for a permanent residence certificate for a villager named Nawazish. On November 9th, the accused Sajid fraudulently uploaded the copy of the Khatauni (recorded document) by changing the name. The accused has been working in an organized manner with people from various walks of life to obtain government documents and create fake certificates. There was a demand for strict action against the accused for illegally creating fake certificates. Following this, the Jwalapur Kotwali police have registered a case against the accused CSC operator, Sajid. Jwalapur Kotwali in-charge Kundan Singh Rana stated that the case has been registered and an investigation has been initiated. DM Mayur Dixit has specifically directed the investigation of permanent residence certificates. Action has begun today on his instructions. Tehsildar Sachin Kumar stated that due to fake certificates, eligible people are unable to avail the benefits of government welfare schemes. This poses a potential loss of revenue. Instructions have also been given to investigate all CSC centers.
