Arrest of a Central Operative Expands the Investigation

Patna police have taken Ejaz Qamar into custody, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to four. Officials allege that Qamar facilitated the procurement of Aadhaar‑related documents and then used a fabricated Bihar address to obtain a Bangladeshi passport.

Official remarks

City Superintendent of Police Mohibullah Ansari announced the arrest during a Sunday press briefing. Investigators are now tracing Qamar’s contacts beyond Bihar, including possible foreign connections, as his spouse and several relatives are based in London.

Raids That Triggered the Detentions

The probe began after Nagar police raided Kanhai Communication in Motijheel, confiscating a laptop and other electronic gear. The operation led to the apprehension of Sahil Kumar, whose questioning yielded additional leads.

  • Shiv Kumar Pandit of Saran district – arrested after being identified by Sahil Kumar.
  • Sujeet – taken into custody on Saturday.
  • Ejaz Qamar – seized in Patna.

All four individuals are currently in judicial custody, according to Nagar police station SHO JP Singh.

What Authorities Say About Qamar’s Role

During interrogation, Qamar claimed to work as a vendor offering Aadhaar‑related services. Police note that he holds an MTech degree and entered the Aadhaar sector after leaving a prior job. Investigators suspect he exploited this position to manage or support the illegal document‑forging network.

Originally from Ara, Qamar is believed to have coordinated activities from Chandigarh, maintaining links across several Indian states.

Mechanics of the Forgery Scheme

According to the investigation, Qamar secured contracts for Aadhaar updates, supplied the required electronic equipment, and hired operatives to carry out the work. These operatives were reportedly paid around ₹30,000 per month.

Police are examining whether this infrastructure was used to create or modify identity records, thereby enabling the production of counterfeit passports and other documents.

Ongoing Inquiry

Authorities are contacting police forces in other states to uncover additional participants and to map the full extent of the alleged network. The investigation remains active, with a focus on exposing every link that facilitated the illegal issuance of identity documents.
