Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Benita Mary Jaiker said they had received credible input regarding the movement of Sarkar who was in contact with members of the Bishnoi gang.

"The information was further developed, a trap was laid and the accused Sarkar nabbed and later arrested," she said.

On interrogation, clues about his gang was revealed and his accomplices, Arjit Kumar, Navneet Prajapati, Somnath Prajapati and a woman were also apprehended.

He revealed that he came in contact with Arjit Kumar through the arrested woman, who asked him to get an Indian passport prepared with any forged ID.

Approximately, a year ago, Sarkar prepared his forged Voter ID and Aadhaar in the name of Tilak Raj Toteja, a resident of Sangam Vihar, Delhi from the fourth arrested accused Navneet, a resident of Tughlakabad Extension, and on the basis of that Aadhaar card, he obtained a Voter ID Card in advance for the purpose of forgery.

"Toteja was the previous land ord of the property, which is at present in the possession of accused Sarkar's family. The electricity bill is still in the name of Tilak Raj Toteja. From here, he got an idea to create his ID with intention to commit forgery in future," the DCP said.
