Authorities of Western Railway authorities busted a racket of people submitted forged cancer patient concession certificates to procure reserved train tickets.
The railways provides between 50 to 100 per cent concession on basic fare in various travel classes to cancer patients and they are also given preference for confirmed berths in the emergency quota.
Acting on a tip-off, the WR’s Vigilance department seized 74 such forged cancer concession certificates from the ticket reservation centre at Dadar in the metropolis.
A senior WR official on Tuesday infomed that the forged forms used by these people bear the stamp and signature of a famous city- based oncologist.
However, the doctors whose signatures appear on these forms have denied any involvement.
The official said that WR is probing further and might also take help from the city police since it is a case of forgery.
