Guwahati, June 12: As many as 27 forged birth certificates have been detected in Assam’s Hailakandi district during routine Aadhaar verification work, raising serious concerns about a deep-rooted document forgery racket in the region.

“The forged documents were discovered while verifying supporting documents submitted for Aadhaar enrollment. During the verification process, we identified 27 birth certificates as fake,” said an official.

“We immediately forwarded them to the Director of Health Services for authentication, and he confirmed that they were indeed forged,” the official added.

Of the 27 fake certificates, one was purportedly issued by SK Roy Civil Hospital in Hailakandi, while the remaining 26 bore the name of Lala Hospital.

During the inquiry, both hospitals denied issuing any such certificates, further confirming suspicions of document fabrication.

“These certificates are highly deceptive—complete with QR codes and formatting identical to original documents. Some even link to cloned versions of central government websites, which could easily mislead officials during a casual inspection,” the official said.
