Forgery case against youngster who gatecrashed PM's house

New Delhi, Aug 9 (UNI) A case of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy has been slapped against Yogita Khatwani, one of the three youngsters who tried to enter Prime Minister's Manmohan Singh's seven Race Course Road residence last month, sparking a major security scandal.

A police spokesman said the case was lodged at the Timarpur Police Station in North Delhi as the officer investigating the security lapse found that the black sedan she drove into the PM's residence was purchased with forged documents.

A case under sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery with purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against Ms Khatwani, he informed.

The former airhostess was at the wheels when the three youngsters decided to check out if they could meet the Prime Minister and drove into his residence.

They were allowed past the first security barrier, but asked to return by SPG personnel at the second barrier. The three were arrested near the INA market close by after mediapersons assembled at the PM's residence to cover a cabinet meeting raised an alarm.
