Assam Police Arrest Two in Passport Fraud Involving Bangladeshi Citizen
Two people in Assam were arrested for helping a person from Bangladesh get an Indian passport using fake documents.
They pretended the person was someone who had already died named Farooq Ahmed.
They used fake documents like a birth certificate, Aadhaar card, and PAN card to make it look real.
The police found out and caught them, seizing the fake documents and the computer used to make them.
Now, the police are trying to figure out if anyone else was involved, and if more people have done the same thing.
Two individuals were arrested for helping a Bangladeshi national obtain a passport using forged documents.
The passport application was submitted under the name of Farooq Ahmed, who was deceased.
Authorities discovered discrepancies in the submitted documents, including a birth certificate, Aadhaar card, and PAN card.
Forged documents falsely presented a Bangladeshi citizen as an Indian national.
Police seized forged documents and a computer used for creating them, and a wider investigation is underway.
