Haryana govt issues advisory over websites generating fake birth, death certificates

The Haryana government Wednesday issued an advisory asking people to be cautious against birth and death certificates being generated from fake websites.

A spokesperson of the health department said, “A call has also been given to the general public not to follow the instructions given on social media sites like YouTube. Do not get any birth-death certificate made by paying money online by contacting on phone numbers etc as there are high chances of these being fake.”

“From the last few months, it has come to the notice that some anti-social persons are involved in the work of making birth-death certificates by creating fake websites.
