Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Delhi Police have registered an FIR after Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri flagged forged disability certificates used for nursery admissions under the Children with Special Needs (CwSN) category for the 2026-27 session. The school wrote to police on 16 September seeking verification of three recommendatory letters and disability certificates claiming 41% hearing impairment, purportedly issued by a Delhi government hospital. Police verified the documents and found the certificates forged. A case was registered on 17 September under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) including cheating, forgery of government documents, and criminal conspiracy, according to Times Now. Times of India adds that sections 318(2), 337, 340(2) and 61(2) of BNS were invoked. Police are investigating how the documents were prepared and who was involved.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets cover the forgery identically, leading with the school complaint and police action. Times Now frames it as a straight police-probe story, attributing investigation details to officials. Times of India adds context on past fake-certificate cases, including a July 2026 gang selling forged Class X and XII marksheets, which frames the current case as part of a wider pattern without changing the neutral tone. Neither outlet questions the school's vetting process or names the families, keeping coverage uniform and factual.
