Rajan
had
initially
applied
for
a
tatkal
passport
which
expired
in
2008.
However
he
managed
to
renew
the
same
with
a
validity
date
of
July
2018.
A
case
was
booked
against
Rajan
under
the
Passport
Act
of
1967.
The
CBI
team
which
will
question
officials
says
that
if
they
get
vital
leads,
then
they
could
book
officials
under
the
Prevention
of
Corruption
Act.
Rajan had got the passport (No.G9273860) made in the name of Mohan Kumar. The address mentioned on the passport was, 107/B, Old M.C. Road, Azad Nagar, Mandya in Karnataka. Rajan has not revealed much about how he got the passport made. He said that he was in Zimbabwe at the time of the passport being made.
The CBI wants to find out if the officials had prepared the passport in connivance with Rajan or was it an oversight. Moreover the CBI also wants to find out why a verification was not done. The address mentioned in the passport does exist and hence it would be important to find out if any verification which is a mandatory procedure was done or not.
