Thiruvananthapuram: Karamana police have arrested a 51-year-old man for allegedly attempting to secure an engineering certificate by submitting forged documents and a tampered mark list to the office of the controller of technical examinations. The accused, identified as Sanil Jose, a resident of Sakthan Nagar in Thrissur, was taken into custody following a complaint filed by the joint controller of technical examinations.
