JAMMU, May 22: Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Kishore Kumar today rejected the bail applications of two Rohingyas, who prepared fake documents of Indian citizenship.

As per the police case, Police Station Bahu Fort came to know from reliable sources that Ashiqur Rahman and Abdul Ghafoor, the residents of Myanmar and presently residing at Bathindi Rahim Nagar, have fraudulently prepared some documents–Passport , Aadhar Card , PAN Card etc by impersonating themselves to be the citizens of country .

Accordingly, FIR was registered against them and during investigation, bank passbooks, ATM cards, Aadhar card, car, birth certificate and Rs 1.4 lakh cash were recovered from accused Ashiqur Rahman whereas other accused namely Abdul Ghafoor was found in possession of several documents and Rs 2.20 lakh cash. Both the accused persons could not give satisfactory reply about the possession of these documents.

After hearing both the sides and going through the police report, the court observed, “a large number of documents have been prepared by the accused persons to impersonate themselves as Indian citizens though they are not”, adding “it is very strange that they have been succeeded to secure PAN Card, driving license, Aadhar Card etc and are operating their accounts in different Indian banks”.

“The accused persons are involved in a very serious offence which carries punishment up till life imprisonment. It appears that there is a well established racket for procuring and preparing such type of documents for the accused persons and others who are in need”, the court further said, adding “the accused persons are in police custody and their release shall create many problems of law and order”.

“It cannot be ruled out that these accused persons may be involved in the criminal as well as militancy activities in the State. Such type of persons does not deserve their release as it can create law and order problem for the administration. No person can be allowed to stay in India illegally without seeking permission from the Govt under the law”, the court further said.

With these observations, court rejected the bail applications.
