The Mumbai crime branch's Central Intelligence Unit (CIU) arrested an Afghan national last week for residing in India with fake documents. The accused identified as Majid Khan alias Miraj Tahir Khan (Indian Name) was arrested for procuring fake documents like Aadhar Card, pan card and a passport.

According to the sources, the accused was arrested after his wife informed the police about his illegal procurement of an Indian passport and other documents. Cops also arrested his wife Shabnam for helping him reside in India. Following their statement, the police later arrested Pradeep Kulkarni and Shyam Kathle, the two agents who helped Khan with fake documents.

According to the police, Majid is from Jalalabad in Afganistan. In 1994 he left the country as things were chaotic due to the Taliban interferences. Khan then moved to Sialkot in Pakistan where he started his own dairy business but in 2017, his relatives from Afganistan called him back to the country as conditions improved and got him married to a girl from Afganistan.
