Bangladeshi Nationals Fraudulently Obtain Indian Passports in Bhopal
Two men from Bangladesh, Mohammad Maqbool Alam and Rehan Ansari, got Indian passports by using fake documents.
They lived in a rented house in Bhopal for about five to seven years.
They used a rent agreement to get fake Aadhaar cards and voter IDs, and then applied for Indian passports.
The police found out about this and registered a case against them.
The men are currently untraceable, and the police are trying to cancel their passports.
The police are also checking if any officials were negligent in verifying their documents.
