fake documents case

While the family of a city-based passport agent filed a police complaint on Wednesday, saying he has been missing since Monday and expressed apprehension that he may have been picked up by Bengaluru police, it soon emerged that Saroornagar police had taken him into custody in a fake document case.

According to the complaint lodged at Market police station by New Bhoiguda resident Ms Sofia, her husband Mr Mohammed Shafi, 46, went missing on Monday. Ms Fathima, Shafi’s sister, said, “He had left the house on Monday to pick up his daughter from Kasturba College in Marredpally but got a phone call before he could reach the college and went to the passport office. He has been missing since, though his scooter is still parked there. Locals near the passport office said some people from Bengaluru took him away.”

Officials at Market police station said Ms Shafi was grilled by Saroornagar police. The police said he faces a case of using fake documents to get passport. Meanwhile, NIA sleuths arrested one Mohammed nees, a resident of Bengaluru, in a Pakistan-printed fake currency racket. NIA’s Hyderabad sleuths brought him from UP to the city and produced him before a local court. The accused distributed fake currency in Delhi and Bengaluru. According to NIA, Anees got the fake currency bundles from Pakistan. A native of Farukkabad, UP, he was absconding since January, 2012, and was linked to the Malda fake currency racket, police said.
