Mumbai Man Arrested for Alleged Use of Forged Documents to Obtain Nagaland Firearm LicencePreviousNext

Mumbai police arrested Faiz Irfan Adenwala, a 36-year-old luxury car dealer from Khar West, for allegedly using a forged police clearance certificate to obtain and renew a firearm licence from Nagaland. Investigations revealed he failed to inform Mumbai authorities about possessing the weapon and had prior traffic violations. Authorities are probing the source of the forged documents and suspect a possible larger network facilitating such licences. Adenwala was remanded in police custody pending further inquiry.
