Old Delhi Families Face Probe Over Allegedly Forged Disability Certificates
Police are investigating three families from Old Delhi.
The families allegedly used false papers to seek school admission for their children.
The children applied for Nursery places under a category for children with special needs.
Their papers said they had 41% hearing impairment.
The papers claimed to come from Lok Nayak Hospital.
The hospital said it had not issued any of them, according to police.
