Fake Aadhaar card used to secure bail; case booked

Mysuru: A case has been registered at Lakshmipuram Police Station after a fake Aadhaar card was created and used to secure bail for an accused. The Chief Administrative Officer of the Principal District and Sessions Court lodged the complaint.

According to records pertaining to a case earlier registered at Bettadapura Police Station, Aleem Pasha was the accused.

On Dec. 20, 2021, Nisar Ahmed, a resident of Bengaluru, produced RTC documents relating to Survey No. 172/4, along with an Aadhaar card, before the Court. After verifying the documents, the Court granted bail to the accused and released him.

Later, when Aleem Pasha failed to appear before the Court despite being released on bail, a separate criminal case was registered against the person who had stood surety for him.

On Apr. 30, 2026, another person named Nisar Ahmed appeared before the Court with his pahani (land record) and Aadhaar card and claimed that he was the actual owner of the property.

He said, he had not stood surety for anyone and alleged that an unidentified person had misused his property records to create a fake Aadhaar card and secure bail for the accused.

During verification, the Court found that the names and addresses on the two Aadhaar cards were identical, but their Aadhaar numbers and photographs were different.

Taking serious note of the matter, the Judge directed that a case be registered against the unidentified person who had created the fake Aadhaar card and against the accused who had obtained bail using it.

Following the direction, R. Nagesh, Chief Administrative Officer (in-Charge) of the Mysuru Principal District and Sessions Court, lodged a complaint at Lakshmipuram Police Station.
