Fake Bihar Certificates Filed Under Gods and a Crow
In Bihar, someone made fake ID applications for Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, and a crow.
They used details from a religious story for the first two.
Officials noticed something was wrong and are now checking things out with the police.
This isn't the first time; a dog and a tractor also had certificates.
It seems like someone is trying to make a joke or mess with the system.
Fake applications for Bihar residence certificates were filed using the names of religious figures and a crow.
Applications were submitted in Khagaria district, mimicking details from the Ramayana for some applicants.
