Arrest of a Central Player Expands the Investigation

Muzaffarpur law enforcement has taken Ejaz Qamar into custody in Patna, bringing the total number of detainees in the case to four. Officials 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 tracking Qamar’s contacts beyond Bihar’s borders, including potential overseas connections, as his wife and several relatives live in London.

Raids That Sparked the Arrests

The probe began after Nagar police raided Kanhai Communication in Motijheel, seizing a laptop and other electronic equipment. The operation led to the detention of Sahil Kumar, whose interrogation yielded additional leads.

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

All four individuals have been placed in judicial custody, according to Nagar police station SHO JP Singh.

Details of Qamar’s Alleged Involvement

During questioning, Qamar claimed he worked as a vendor offering Aadhaar‑related services. Police note that he holds an MTech degree and entered the Aadhaar sector after leaving a previous job. Investigators suspect he used this position to run or support the illicit document‑forging ring.

Qamar hails from Ara and is believed to have coordinated activities from Chandigarh, maintaining links across several Indian states.

How the Scheme Operated

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

Police are probing whether this infrastructure was leveraged to create or alter identity records, facilitating the fabrication of passports and other documents.

Ongoing Investigation

Authorities are reaching out to police departments in other states to identify additional participants and to map the full chain of the alleged network. The inquiry remains active, with a focus on exposing every link that enabled the illegal issuance of identity documents.
