Questioning of a 30-year-old Nepali citizen, who was on his way to Liberia on Saturday from the
international airport at Mumbai, uncovered a Punjab based racket in forged government ID cards.
Immigration authorities found a bogus Voter ID card, Aadhaar Card and PAN Card on the man and informed
Sahar police.
The police then identified the Punjab-based man who helped the accused get the documents. The arrested man was identified as Prakash Karki, a native of Baglung in Nepal. According to the police, Karki was supposed to board a flight to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and from there fly to Liberia.
“The immigration official at the airport checked Karki’s Nepali passport, e-visa papers, boarding pass and ticket and asked him the reason for visiting Liberia. Since Karki could not give any satisfactory reply, the official informed his senior. During a check of Karki’s baggage, officials found the bogus documents. The Voter ID had his name as Prakash Singh. During questioning Karki told the officials that he arrived in India in 2003 and had been working as a chef in a restaurant in Jalandhar, Punjab,” said a police officer.
The officer added that in 2007, Karki came into contact with one Joga, alias Munshi, from Jalandhar, and with his help managed to get the forged documents.
