I am surprised to have not heard more about this.
I think that we may have encountered the GA pilot who is no longer current but still flies. Even though that is reprehensible it is nothing like this where an airline captain fakes their credentials.
Not to self: Continue to not fly Chinese, Indian, Russian, African, or South American branded airlines.

Investigations by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), initiated after a woman pilot was found repeatedly landing wrongly on the nosewheel of the plane, have thrown up two more pilots who forged their qualifying papers. Fake captains are fast emerging as the biggest threat to safe flying in India.
