Uttar Pradesh police have booked 25 residents of Balrampur for allegedly holding dual citizenship of India and Nepal and possessing official documents from both countries. The accused, from Nepal's Dang district, reportedly used Indian Aadhaar and voter ID cards to access government welfare schemes. An FIR was registered under cheating and electoral laws, and authorities will coordinate with Nepalese officials to verify citizenship status and investigate potential misuse of benefits.
