UP ATS Arrests Mastermind of Fake Aadhaar Document Racket in West Bengal
The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested Saddam, the alleged mastermind of an interstate racket producing forged Indian documents to fraudulently obtain Aadhaar cards for foreign nationals, including Rohingya, Bangladeshi, and Nepali individuals. The gang used fake birth, domicile, and school certificates, misused Aadhaar enrolment operator credentials, and employed VPNs for remote enrolment. Saddam was arrested in Murshidabad, West Bengal, and brought to Uttar Pradesh for further interrogation. Seventeen members have been arrested so far, and investigations continue.
