Ahmedabad: 17 men had fake Gram Rakshak Dal jawan cards

AHMEDABAD: Cops inquiring into the fake GRD (Gram Rakshak Dal) case have found out that around 13 other men were given forged ID cards to serve as GRD jawans.
On Wednesday, Aslali police filed a complaint saying that four GRD jawans attended duty after obtaining forged identity cards and khaki uniforms.
The four fake GRD jawans caught at Aslali police station were identified as Sunil Parmar, 27, Vishal Parmar, 22, Hardik Parmar, 24, and Mahesh Parmar — all residents of Vatva.
Police officers said that three men identified as Jashwant Makwana, 25, a resident of Vivekanandnagar, Manish Prajapati, 30, a resident of Sanand and Amit Raval, 25, a resident of Vatva, had provided the identity cards to the four fake GRD jawans.
Earlier, Aslali police had said the fake GRD jawans had worked for the police for around a month.
After inquiring into the case, inspector R R Jadeja of Aslali police said that they had worked at the police station for around 12 to 14 days only and had not been given any remuneration.
“Apart from the four fake GRD jawans who were booked by Aslali police, there were 13 others who were sold identity cards and uniforms by Prajapati, Raval and Makwana. These 13 persons, during the course of inquiry, will be called and questioned about this case,” said Jadeja.
The case came to light when the fake GRD jawans’ identity card numbers clashed with those of other jawans. After this it was discovered that their identity cards were forged.
The accused were booked under charges of forgery and cheating and investigation is on.
