In his most recent forging spree, he copied more than four court papers of motorists who had been challaned more than Rs 2,000 for various offences, including faulty number plates and rash driving.

According to the police, Tiwari’s associates operated in the Paras Cinema area near the traffic police station. Traffic offenders who came to the station were promised their papers by touts who would charge Rs 500 for the service. The touts would then get in touch with Tiwari, who would get the papers from court and forge them.
