The Anti‑Terrorism Squad has taken into custody the son of Gujarat’s Mahila Congress chief after discovering a forged passport.
The Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS) in Gujarat arrested the son of the state’s Mahila Congress chief after officials found a counterfeit passport in his possession. The detention took place during a routine check, according to a statement released by the ATS.
Law enforcement officials said the fake travel document raised immediate suspicion of illegal activity, prompting them to detain the individual for further questioning. The ATS has not disclosed the exact location of the arrest, but confirmed that the case is being investigated under relevant passport and fraud statutes.
No additional details about the identity of the chief or the son have been released, and the authorities have not indicated whether any further arrests are expected. The investigation remains ongoing, and the ATS has urged the public to report any similar fraudulent documents to the police.
