After three passports were recovered from possession of slain terror suspect Saifullah here, the UP ATS launched a crackdown on fake travel documents and arrested a gang involved in the clandestine trade on Monday.
Inspector General UP Anti-Terror Squad Asim Arun said, “Fake passports can affect national security. Acting on specific tip-off, a number of teams were formed, which found that agents in collusion with some officials of the passport office are making fake documents.”
He said the ATS arrested six persons on Monday. They are Mohammad Maroof, Mohammad Faizal, Moham-mad Javed Naqvi, Arman Khan, Mohammad Shoaib Ansari and Kulvinder Singh.
