Two Bahrainis lose pleas in medical report forgery case
A 30-year-old man convicted of forging a medical report has had his three year’s imprisonment upheld as he lost his appeal.
The Bahraini man was earlier held guilty of forgery after he counterfeited a medical report after getting injured in an accident.
According to prosecutors, the man was supposed to receive the medical report 13 days after the accident, but he forged one with the assistance of a 50-yearold man.
“He submitted the fake medical report to the insurance company as he could not wait for the original one,” they added.
Though the fake and original reports indicated same injuries, the percentage of disability suffered in the accident varied. He was arrested after the Ministry of Health was alerted by the insurance company officials about fake medical report.
“We cross-checked the report and we directly contacted the officials at the Ministry of Health, and we were told that it wasn’t issued yet,” a representative from the insurance company told prosecutors.
