KISHANGANJ, Aug. 24 -- Kishanganj police on Saturday said they had busted an interdistrict racket allegedly involved in preparing fake residential certificates to be used in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise and arrested two people, including its kingpin. The racket was active along the India-Nepal border, said police. Superintendent of Police (SP) Sagar Kumar said that the racket was being operated through a special website link and had issued several certificates. The kingpin, Rajan Kumar, a resident of Samastipur, was arrested on Saturday, while another accused, Ajay Kumar Sah of Kishanganj, was arrested on Friday. Police also claimed to have recovered six bank passbooks and detected deposits of over Rs.26 lakh. The accounts have been seized for investigation. The SP said that the racket was particularly active during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and had been using forged digital signatures. Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by SDPO Manglesh Kumar raided a computer shop at Talwarbandha village under Dighalbank block on the Indo-Nepal border. A large number of suspected fake residential certificates, a desktop computer, two laptops, a CPU, UPS, fingerprint scanner, lamination machine, keyboard, and three mobile phones were seized. An FIR has been registered in the case. Amid reports of people complaining that residential certificates were not being issued, District Magistrate (DM) Vishal Raj dismissed such reports and said that certificates were being issued regularly. He said that the number of applications had crossed three lakh, leading to pendency, but certificates were being issued steadily. Meanwhile, in Bhagalpur, three Pakistani nationals were found guilty of overstaying in India. The process of deleting their names from electoral rolls has been initiated. The three were identified as Imrana Khanam and Firdausia Khanam, who entered India in 1956 on temporary visas, and Mohammad Aslam, who arrived in 2002. They had managed to obtain voter ID cards and Aadhaar cards, and claimed to have voted several times. District Magistrate-cum-District Election Officer Nawal Kishor Choudhary confirmed that their names surfaced during the verification. "They were found living illegally, and deletion from electoral rolls is underway," he said. Sources said that the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the ministry of home affairs (MHA) have sought detailed reports from the Bhagalpur DM and SSP....
