Cops seize fake documents

The police seized 2,137 fake degree certificates from various universities, among them certificates from Allahabad and Bombay University. Police also recovered two fake Air India tickets and several duplicate motor driving licences.

The police in subsequent raids have recovered a computer, a camera and a large stock of printing material required for processing fake documents.

The four men have been charged under CR 88 and booked undersection 465, 467 and 468 of the IPC. They have been remanded to police custody for 14 days.

This is the second largest seizure of fake documents in the last six month. Earlier, the N M Joshi Marg police busted a similar racket and arrested a gang of four men from a colony at Worli.

The modus operandi was similar and the police recovered similar computers and camera from the accused. It is still not clear whether the men arrested by the Agripada police are connected to their counterpart at Worli.
