Man lands in trouble over fake med report for arms licence

The Ludhiana police have registered a case against a man who had submitted a fake dope test report to the Ludhiana police to get an arms licence. After the lie of the applicant came to light, ACP Licensing, Ludhiana, lodged a police complaint, which led to the registration of a case against the accused, identified as Rajdeep Singh of Shaheed Karnail Singh Nagar.

The ACP stated that the accused had fraudulently applied for a firearms licence by using a fake medical report (dope test). During verification of the dope test the same was found to be forged and fake. Yesterday, a case was registered against the accused.

On August 28, three individuals were booked for resorting to the illegal practice. Among the three, two had already obtained the arms licences, while the lie of the third was caught during verification of the arms licences. On August 22, the Ludhiana police booked the three for submitting fake dope test reports to secure arms licences.

One of them had already managed to obtain a licence using forged medical documents before the fraud came to notice. The accused have been identified as Hardik Khanna of Lajpat Nagar, Uday Pratap Singh Grewal of Guru Gobind Singh Nagar and Nishan Singh of Dashmesh Nagar. Separate cases were lodged against them at Division No. 5 police station under multiple sections of the BNS, including cheating, forgery and use of forged documents. In Grewal’s case, Section 30 of the Arms Act had already been added as he had managed to obtain a licence on a fake report.
