Erode: A 40-year-old man, who was running a computer centre in Punjaipuliampatty, was arrested on Tuesday for issuing fake government documents.
Crime branch officials seized government rubber stamps along with fake signature specimen from his shop during a raid.
The accused, K Ramasamy, 40, of Kavilipalayam, was running a computer centre in his village. M Tirumoorthy, 45, of Chinnankuttai village, had approached Ramasamy to help him file an online application for a land ownership certificate with the revenue department. Ramasamy applied online and handed over the certificate to Tirumoorthy in four days.
Ramasamy took the certificate to the local village administrative officer (VAO). T Prabhu, the VAO, felt something was amiss when he saw the certificate. He later realised that the certificate was fake. “The certificate also carried a fake signature of the tahsildar,” the VAO said.
Based on the VAO’s complaint, Ramasamy was arrested.
