The Delhi Police Special Cell on Tuesday said that they have arrested a man from the Trans Yamuna area for allegedly “sharing sensitive information with foreign countries” and running a fake passport business racket from the Capital.
The accused, identified as Adil Hussaini (59), a resident of Jharkhand, was arrested from Delhi’s Seemapuri area on Sunday, police said.
On October 17, his brother Akhtar Hussain Ahmed (55), was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch with two fake identity cards of the city-based Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). The Crime Branch had stated that he had not entered into the premises of the institute but they were trying to ascertain the purpose of procuring the forged ID cards.
Sources said following a tip-off from the Mumbai Crime Branch, a team of the Special Cell nabbed Akhtar’s younger brother Adil from Seemapuri in North Delhi.
According to a statement from the Delhi Police, Adil Hussaini alias Syed Adil Hussain alias Mohammad Adil Hussaini alias Nasimuddin was arrested from Seemapuri on Sunday.
“A resident of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, Adil Hussaini is suspected to be involved, along with his brother Akhtar, in supplying sensitive information to foreign countries and in procuring multiple Indian passports using forged documents,” the police said in its statement.
“One original and two forged passports were recovered from him,” it added.
An official, who did not wish to be named, said that Adil and his brother were allegedly involved in a fake passport racket based out of Mumbai and Delhi. “The duo had travelled to Pakistan and a few Gulf countries several times,” the official said, adding that “it is suspected that they are having connections with foreign nuclear agencies.”
According to the police, Adil’s elder brother Akhtar was deported from Dubai in 2004, where he was initially working, and arrested in India after he had claimed to know “national secrets”. He had gone back to Jamshedpur but kept travelling to Mumbai and Delhi. “During questioning by the Mumbai Crime Branch, Akhtar initially said that his brother Adil had died… but he later disclosed that he was operating from Delhi,” another officer said.
During Akhtar’s arrest, the Mumbai Crime Branch had recovered the passports made on the basis of the fake documents. In this case, the Crime Branch has also arrested another man identified as Munazhir Khan for allegedly making the fake passports on Sunday, the officer said.
During investigation, the police have also found that they have used an address of Prayagraj in fake documents. The police are also trying to ascertain their Prayagraj connection.
The Special Cell has registered a case under the section 61(2) (criminal conspiracy), 318 (cheating), 338 (forgery), 340 (forged documents or electronic record and using it as genuine) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and taken Adil into their custody for seven days of questioning after producing him into a court.
