Delhi cyber cafe raided, fake Aadhaar racket busted

Three men were arrested for allegedly making and selling fake Aadhaar cards, permanent account number (PAN) cards, and voter ID cards, at a cyber cafe in Jahangirpuri in northwest Delhi on Monday.

Police said they suspect that the fake IDs were mostly procured by people who used them to open bank accounts and obtain subscriber identity module (Sim) cards, while committing crimes such as cheating, cyber fraud, and extortion.

The three suspects, Rohit alias Aakash (23), Pintu (25), and Anurag (30), are also members of a racket that offered loans from various banks and Sim cards – all obtained using forged documents, the officers said.
