The Kandivali police have successfully dismantled a gang from Uttar Pradesh (UP) involved in the sale of counterfeit birth certificates, priced at Rs 300 each. The case started unravelling when discrepancies were discovered in the passport application of a duo from Kandivli. The arrested accused are Bablu Kumar Pasi, Tayyb Zaki Ahmed, and Surya Pratap Singh, who is the mastermind who fabricated the certificates. The trio has been remanded in police custody.
Kandivli residents Mohammad Kaif Insaafali Siddiqui and Nayab Sajid had applied for passports. Both had submitted the birth certificates of their parents—as mandated by the government for people born after 2004—but passport Constable Sandeep Mhatre noticed discrepancies. An inspection led to further doubts and a letter was sent to the concerned authority in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh.
