Cops pose as waiters to nab passport fraudster

The Mira Road police posed as waiters at a lodge in Mira Road to nab a suspect dealing in fake passports. The policemen went undercover last night at the Ashoka Lodge to catch Mohammad Rafique, who had escaped from the Chennai police and fled to Mumbai.

The police here received a fax on February 18 about this and acted immediately. Pandurang Damale, PSI and in-charge of the operation at Mira Road said, "We set a trap and placed our men near the lodge. We assisted the lodge employees and checked each room before zeroing in on the room Rafique had checked into."
