Arrests Made in Connection with Fraudulent Certificates:
The Fatehabad police have taken swift action against individuals involved in a scheme where fake D-Grade sports gradation certificates were issued in collusion with applicants. These fraudulent certificates were allegedly used by candidates to secure government jobs through sports quotas. The arrests include Rajendra Berwal, the former District Sports Officer, who is currently on a two-day police remand for further questioning.
