TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A 22-year-old computer operator has been arrested for allegedly issuing forged election identity cards to those whose applications were rejected by the Delhi state government. According to the police, the accused, Rais Khan, charged Rs 500 and prepared the fake identity card which looked like a genuine one. He was found to have a rubber stamp of sub-divisional mag- istrate Peter Bara who is an electoral registration officer. Assistant commissioner of police (special cell) L N Rao said the hologram used by the accused was forged. ‘‘We are looking for Khan’s super- visor who used to supply these holograms to him,’’ Rao said. According to Rao, Khan worked with Deep ad- vertising agency in Rajouri Garden who used to print election identity cards for the residents of Mahipalpur zone. The contract was given to them by the Delhi state gov- ernment who had also sup- plied them with Bara’s rub- ber stamp. Rao said the con- tract was given to Deep about a year ago.
