KRISHNAGAR, 27 DEC: The Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata police arrested a youth for allegedly making fake government documents including Aadhaar cards, voter identity cards, pan cards and driving licenses.
Police said the squad recovered fingerprint scanners, laptops and other machines from the suspect.
The suspect identified as Bijay Roy was arrested from Nabadwip two days ago while he lives at Jatrapur Dashinpara under Kotwali police station limits in Nadia.
The development comes after the Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) recently in a key operation detained 37 Bangladeshi nationals from a residential building in Kolkata’s Gulshan Colony for illegally entering West Bengal. The ATS had come from Lucknow to trace Mufizul Rehman, an alleged human trafficker. The police said that the men who did not have passports or visas, allegedly entered the country with the help of Mufizul Rehman who has also been arrested.
Confirming the news, an official said, “Bangladeshi young men who illegally entered West Bengal were arrested by the Kolkata Police from Anandapur. The arrests were made from a residential building in Gulshan Colony. The youths were living in an apartment that was used to run a Madrassa. None of them had valid passports or visas but some fake Indian identity cards were seized during the raid.”
“During interrogation, police came to know that the arrested men got the fake identity cards from a person who lives in Kotwali police station limits in Nadia. According a team of STF conducted raids and nabbed the suspect from his hideout in Nabadwip,” police said.
Local residents, however, said that they had no knowledge about his illegal business.
