You painting Indian government as this corruption-free bastion is cute. All it takes is a bunch of local government heads to look better than the other regions, and there you go - they report fake numbers. Or it can be worse, they pretend to do N tests, while paying for 1% of N tests, and faking the rest, putting the difference in their pocket.
