A fake voter ID, fake ration card and a forged driving license (DL) were used to make a passport for gangster Ayyub Khan while he was lodged in jail in 2010. These details were found by a special team comprising 15 policemen to look into how the criminal’s antecedents, including how the fake passport was made while he was imprisoned.
From Tuesday, Ayyub Khan will be in police custody for nine days with regard to the two cases registered against him with the Kamatipura (fake passport) and Chandrayangutta (threatening) police stations, said south zone Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), V. Satyanarayana. He added that the special team is being headed by Charminar Assistant Commissioner of Police Ashok Chakravarty.
“The main purpose of the the special team is to expedite investigation into the cases booked against Ayyub and to ensure commencement of the trial,” said the DCP. Mr. Satyanarayana said that of the three documents used to make the gangster’s fake passport, the DL was not issued by the Road Transport Authority (RTA), as it was forged.
Agents who helped Ayyub make the other two documents with fake addresses and names are likely to be arrested, he added. When asked if any officials from the Regional Passport Office were involved, Mr. Satyanarayana said that only investigation will reveal that. The gangster was serving prison time between 2008 and 2014, when the passport was made.
Using the same, Ayyub left the country after his release in 2014. He was arrested by the police about a week ago after being arrested in Mumbai.
