Arrest of a Central Operative Expands the Investigation

The Muzaffarpur police have placed Ejaz Qamar under arrest in Patna, bringing the total number of detainees in the case to four. Authorities allege that Qamar played a pivotal role in obtaining Aadhaar‑related documents and then exploiting a Bihar address to manufacture a Bangladeshi passport.

Official remarks

City Superintendent of Police Mohibullah Ansari announced the arrest at a Sunday press briefing. Investigators are now pursuing Qamar’s contacts beyond Bihar, including potential overseas connections, as his spouse and several relatives are based in London.

Raids That Sparked the Arrests

The case unfolded after Nagar police raided Kanhai Communication in Motijheel, confiscating a laptop and other electronic gear. The operation led to the detention of Sahil Kumar, whose questioning yielded additional leads.

  • Shiv Kumar Pandit of Saran district – taken into custody after being identified by Sahil Kumar.
  • Sujeet – apprehended on Saturday.
  • Ejaz Qamar – captured in Patna.

All four individuals are currently in judicial custody, according to Nagar police station SHO JP Singh.

What Officials Say About Qamar’s Role

During interrogation, Qamar claimed he operated as a vendor offering Aadhaar‑related services. Police note that he holds an MTech degree and entered the Aadhaar field after resigning from a prior job. Investigators suspect he leveraged this position to run or support the illegal document‑forging ring.

Originally from Ara, Qamar is believed to have coordinated activities from Chandigarh, maintaining connections across several Indian states.

How the Scheme Functioned

According to investigators, Qamar secured contracts for Aadhaar updates, supplied the requisite electronic equipment, and hired operatives to carry out the work. These operatives were reportedly paid around ₹30,000 per month.

Authorities are probing whether this infrastructure was used to create or alter identity records, thereby enabling the fabrication of passports and other official documents.

Next Steps in the Investigation

Law enforcement agencies are reaching out to police departments in other states to pinpoint additional participants and to map the full hierarchy of the alleged network. The probe remains active, with a focus on exposing every link that facilitated the illegal issuance of identity documents.
