We seized with him multiple documents with photographs of one individual but with different names, including pay slips and identity cards of a private firm. He also had documents required in court, including rubber stamps of various police stations and government offices,” an official from Navi Mumbai Police was quoted by saying as the paper.

Five others were also arrested in connection with the case. According to the police, the busted gang could be involved in over 400 cases of fake surety in different courts.
