A police official said on Thursday that five persons were nabbed for allegedly creating bogus documents and producing guarantors in court to help those involved in criminal cases in Mumbai, Thane, and other parts of Maharashtra get bail.
He said they were held after a raid on Wednesday at Mahatma Phule Nagar in Mankhurd, near Mumbai.
“In the raid, we apprehended Amit Narayan Gije (44) and Bandu Korde (44). Based on their interrogation, the Crime Branch detained Ahmed Qasim Shaikh (34) from Chheda Nagar, Sanjiv Gupta (34) from Bhiwandi and Arjun Kawale (48) from Kalyan,” police said.
“We recovered forged Aadhaar cards, ration cards, ID cards of various companies, PAN cards, tax receipts, and bank solvencies from the accused persons. A case has been registered at Mankhurd police station. Further probe is underway,” the official informed.
