During interrogation, the accused told that they used to charge Rs 3500 to Rs 4000 for changing name, address and date of birth in the Aadhaar card. For this, new identities of people were created by preparing fake documents.
Fake PCC and birth certificate recovered
Police have recovered four mobile phones, two laptops, 42 fake Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and several fake birth certificates from the accused.
Investigation revealed that the accused used to prepare identical copies of the birth certificates of Delhi Municipal Corporation. Apart from this, documents of LPG agencies and pension payment orders of retired army employees were also being prepared fraudulently.
Used to make documents look like real ones by applying QR Code
