Police at Guwahati railway station arrested two Bangladeshi nationals and recovered counterfeit Aadhaar cards, officials said.
Police officials reported that two individuals of Bangladeshi nationality were apprehended at Guwahati railway station during a routine check. The detainees were found carrying forged Aadhaar identification documents, which were subsequently seized by the authorities.
The counterfeit Aadhaar cards, which mimic the government‑issued biometric ID, are often used to facilitate illegal migration, fraud, or other illicit activities. Their recovery underscores ongoing concerns about document fraud in the northeastern region.
Law enforcement agencies have opened an investigation to determine the source of the fake IDs and to assess whether the individuals were part of a larger network. The suspects are currently in police custody pending further legal action.
Officials emphasized that stringent verification at transport hubs remains a key strategy to curb the misuse of forged documents and to protect national security.
