The 34-year-old Afghan national, Sher Mohammad alias Aslam Khan, who was detained by the special branch of the city police on Wednesday has been booked under the Foreigners Act and section 420 (fraud) of the IPC.
According to the police, along with Khan, seven other Afghans were also investigated. However, after questioning and examining their documents, their identity proofs were found valid and they were released. However, Khan was carrying fake identity proof with stamps of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh government.
Cops said that Khan was grilled the entire night but he did not reveal anything about the fake documents found with him. A rugs and blanket vendor, Khan has been staying at the residence of a politician`s brother at Mominpura.
For the past 17 years, Khan is believed to have used the fake identity proofs to travel from Bilaspur to Nagpur. On raiding his residence, cops found illegal and fake documents like two ration cards and a driving license. However, there was no passport, said a cop.
The cops also verified Khan`s call details, and learnt that calls had also been made to Karachi, Pakistan, from his phone.
Police said an examination of Khan`s driving license, allegedly issued by Regional Transport Office, Nagpur, shows two dates, making it highly suspect.
As for the two fake ration cards found with him, one has been issued by authorities in Bilaspur while the other is issued in Nagpur.
