Inter-State Gang Busted for Fake Document Procurement
Imagine some people were making fake ID cards, like Aadhaar cards, for people who shouldn't have them, such as people from other countries.
The police found out and arrested the people doing it.
These people were using fake information and even stealing real people's fingerprints to make the fake IDs.
With these fake IDs, people could get Indian passports and use government services.
The police are still investigating and catching more people involved in this illegal activity.
An inter-state gang was busted by Uttar Pradesh's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
The gang forged Aadhaar cards and other documents for foreign nationals.
