Delhi Police on Wednesday claimed to have smashed a gang involved in providing fake driving licences and other documents with the arrest of one person.
Twenty-five forged driving licenses, four forged registration certificates of various states and two forged voter ID cards were recovered from Mohd Aslam, who was arrested from Munirka area yesterday.
‘We received a tip off about his presence there and arrested him,’ Sanjay Kumar Jain, Deputy Commissioner of Police [Crime], said.
The car he was driving was stolen from Mewat in Haryana last month. Aslam came to Delhi about ten years ago and started working as a scrap dealer in Maujpur. Last year, he came in contact with a person, Javed, who is allegedly involved in supplying of stolen goods. Javed gave him stolen cars for selling them in Delhi. Javed also asked him to arrange forged documents for stolen cars.
‘Aslam then contacted one Naresh, who owns a computer shop in Shalimar Bagh. Naresh prepared forged registration certificates. Meanwhile, Aslam started getting orders for forged driving licences and insurances papers from other clients,’ Jain said.
Two years ago, when Naresh shut down his shop and left the area, Aslam hired another computer operator and started preparing forged documents at his residence.
‘He used to get Rs 1,000 per document from the customers. His customers were from NCR region including Delhi, Sonipat, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. Till date he might have supplied more than 1,000 forged documents,’ Jain said.
