Pakistani national arrested with family for staying illegally near Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Sep 30: A Pakistani national was arrested along with his wife and two others who were allegedly living illegally with fake identities for the past six years, police said on Monday.
According to a preliminary inquiry, his wife is from Bangladesh and they were earlier in Dhaka, where they got married.
The couple allegedly came to Delhi in 2014 and later shifted to Bengaluru in 2018. The two others arrested are his in-laws. They were taken into custody following a raid conducted in Jigani on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Sunday.
"Our Jigani Inspector investigated a matter and registered a case. Four people of a family were residing here illegally with the help of fraudulent documents.

They have been staying at a rented house in Jigani for the past six years, and allegedly got identity documents with fake names, he said.
The police are interrogating the man about his network and activities.
"We have collected details about them and are investigating the case. They were supplying materials to a garage but that needs to be investigated," he said.
When asked about "seizures" from their house, the officer said: "It is part of the investigation."
Speaking to reporters here, Home Minister G Parameshwara said that they are being investigated.
"How did they come? Why did they all come ? All these will be investigated. If they had been in India for the past 10 years... if this is true why the Intelligence Agencies could not track them? They even went up to the extent of getting a (Indian) passport... in that case (obtaining) Aadhaar is nothing for them. They changed their names and were running a restaurant also," Parameshwara said.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
