Delhi Police on Saturday arrested two persons for allegedly forging the signature of Minister of Railways and making a fake membership card of ZRUCC (Zonal Railway Users Consultative Committee).
According to police, they had received a complaint at Parliament street police station that the Ministry of Railways has received a complaint regarding a letterhead bearing forged signature of Minister of Railways and one copy of membership card of ZRUCC (Zonal Railway Users Consultative Committee) in the name of Mallikarjun Vadla.
“Acting on the complaint investigation was taken up and a team was sent to Secunderabad, Telangana to interrogate Vadla in whose name the card and the letter head were prepared. During interrogation Vadla disclosed that he paid Rs 10 lakh to Thalesetty Sudhakar who handed over these documents to him but he had doubts and he told his friend to verify these documents from the Ministry of Railways,” said a police official.
“On his instance, Sudhakar was nabbed from his house in Hyderabad on 23 August 2018 and during interrogation, he disclosed that Raman Joshi from Delhi is the person who helped him to get these documents prepared. He further disclosed that he had paid Rs 9 lakh rupees to Joshi from his account out of the amount of Rs 10 lakh received by him from Vadla,” said a police official.
“On 24 August of 2018, Joshi was arrested from Delhi on the instance of Thalesetty Sudhakar. Investigation of the case is under progress. The duo accused had met near Rail Bhawan around two years ago when Sudhakar came to Delhi regarding search of Government contracts,” said a police official.
