ECI to Cancel Fake IDs After Patna Immigration Probe
Someone from Afghanistan pretended to be Indian and got fake documents like an ID card.
The government found out and is now taking away the fake ID.
This person lived in a house in Patna with others who may also have fake documents.
The government is checking all the documents to make sure everyone is who they say they are.
This started because there was a report about possible illegal immigrants living in Patna.
The government is also looking into other people living in the same house who have multiple IDs.
ECI is set to remove the EPIC of an Afghan national residing illegally in Patna.
Jandullah Dad Mohammad, impersonating Rehan, acquired multiple fake Indian identity documents.
The ECI's actions follow a report regarding potential illegal immigrants in Patna.
The fake documents included an EPIC, passport, and Aadhaar card, among others.
Multiple occupants of Wakil Anwer House are being investigated; some have duplicate EPICs.
