Fake driving licence scam

Mastermind surrenders in court
Chandigarh, November 7
In the fake driving licence scam, mastermind Manish, a resident of Sector 45, surrendered in the court of the Chandigarh Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) here this evening.
Inspector Dulip Rattan said the accused used to provide licences by forging the signature of DSP (Traffic) Vijay Kumar. He added that they had got the two-day police remand of the accused and further investigations were on.
The police had earlier arrested six persons, including Jaswinder Singh, alias Jassi, owner of Zamidara driving school, and recovered 28 files based on fake papers that were prepared by the gang from the office of the Registration and Licensing Authority (RLA), Sector 17.
Investigation revealed that the accused had documented more than 200 driving licences by using fake stamps and signatures. During initial investigation, the police had discovered that the accused also used to forge the signatures of sub-inspector Sukhdev Singh, in charge, Chandigarh Traffic Park, as part of the process of completing licence files.
The scrutiny of the recovered files had revealed that the beneficiaries had not appeared for the driving test at the Chandigarh Traffic Park in Sector 23. Their files were found to be having valid serial numbers.
