Assam: Alleged Mastermind Of Document Forgery Arrested In Nagaon

NAGAON: In a major breakthrough, police in Nagaon's Juria on Monday night arrested a man for his involvement in a large forgery racket involving Aadhaar, PAN and voter ID documents. It is suspected that Asadul Islam is the mastermind of the large scale fraud racket.

The arrest followed a formal complaint lodged by Gulzar Hussain at the Dagaon police station, which accused Islam of defrauding individuals of crores of rupees by posing as a loan provider. According to the complaint, Islam deceitfully secured a loan of Rs. 3,75,000 in the name of Hussain’s son, Ghulam Usmani, using forged documents. Reports indicate that Islam attempted to evade responsibility by faking a suicide.

Subsequent investigations showed that Islam's fraudulent activities were not confined to this one case. Officials suspect that he has victimized many others by producing forged identity documents, which he then used to get loans and steal large sums of money. Victims, mostly ordinary citizens who needed financial help, have reported losses that could run into crores.

Other leads on the case are being actively pursued by the police with the aim of having a comprehensive understanding of Islam's operation and knowing any other possible victims. The investigation is still ongoing as the authorities pursue the aim of delivering justice to the victims of this alleged scam.
