Police have busted a racket involved in forging passports and arrested nine persons from various places in Kathmandu, Wednesday.
A police team from Metropolitan Police Range, Hanumandhoka arrested Devendra Luintel from Kapan, Masid Ullah from Bagbazaar and seven others from various parts of the capital.
They have also recovered 52 passport books, fake police reports, fake visa of gulf countries, and fake documents of various educational institutions. The seized passport books were original ones, according to the police. Police have claimed Luintel has been involved in forging passports and sending Nepali workers to gulf countries with fake visas. They also recovered a list of persons who had gone to the gulf countries for work with fake visas.
Earlier, police posed as ‘customers’ to establish Luintel and Ullah’s involvement in forging passports and visas. Based on a tipoff criminal division of the metropolitan police sent one of its staff to the travel agency run by Ullah in Bagbazaar. Ullah told the policemen in disguise of customers the passport would be ready in five days for Rs 20,000.
Luintel was arrested based on the statement given by Ullah and the call records on his mobile.
