Officers of the Special Crime Investigation Cell said that during interrogation Ranbir and Gurbhej had disclosed how they procured the passport on the basis of a forged ration card.
“Chairman of the Santsar Trust, Swaroop Singh asked Ranbir to arrange a passport for Gurbhej. The constable asked another member of the Santsar Trust, Gurdeep Singh, to arrange a ration card claiming that Gurbhej was his brother. Later, Ranbir approached a middleman, who bribed officials of the Food and Civil Supplies department to include Gurbhej’s name in Gurdeep’s ration card. The middleman got the work done within a day,” said a police officer.
When Gurbhej applied for a second passport at the Regional Passport Office in Chandigarh, he made the constable his witness. Ranbir managed to get a police verification done for the passport. Gurbhej visited Germany in 2007 on the second passport and reportedly met pro-Khalistan elements. “He was arrested in June 2008 with 24.5 kg of RDX at Jagraon. We are interrogating him and hope to get more details,” added the officer.
