Jammu, Mar 25: The Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested six people involved in preparation of fake documents of the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel and procuring personal loan from a nationalised bank, official sources said today (Mar 26, 2006).

The kingpin of the gang Rakesh Kumar of village Mandal was drawing personal loan from the branch of a bank here at Trikuta Nagar on fake documents of BSF-men in connivance with the bank officials.

The members of the gang had applied for personal loan on fictitious names, photographs and other documents of some people in BSF uniform, police sources said, adding that they had got a total of 28 loan-cases sanctioned on fake documents.

Rakesh Kumar used to act as BSF officer while his aides used to wear the uniform of different ranks of BSF, during their visits to the bank to avoid any suspicion, sources said.

Police have recovered several fake documents, rubber stamps of BSF officers and uniforms from the possession of the gang.

The other associates of Rakesh Kumar were identified as Manmohan Singh alias Mohan, Ed Mohammad, Vinod Kumar, Joginder Kumar and Agni Devi Rai.
