A man who served in the Agriculture Department in the Puttalam district for nine years by producing a fake educational certificate, was taken into custody by Chilaw Police on information received.

On questioning, the man divulged to the Police that he had passed only in two subjects at the G C E Ordinary level examination. He had allegedly obtained the job by producing a bogus certificate stating that he had passed in six subjects with four distinctions.
