The Delhi Police have successfully apprehended Bilal Ahmad, a 33-year-old resident of Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir, for his involvement in a series of fraudulent activities targeting paramilitary personnel. Ahmad was allegedly operating a scam that involved defrauding CRPF and other paramilitary forces on the pretext of facilitating bank loans for vehicle purchases.
According to the police, Ahmad used forged documents to secure loans under the names of paramilitary personnel. His criminal record spans across 14 cases of cheating and forgery filed at various police stations throughout Jammu and Kashmir. A court in J&K had issued a detention order for Ahmad due to his involvement in these repeated offenses.
The accused was traced by Delhi police to the Jama Masjid area after days of surveillance. He was arrested on Saturday. During his apprehension, the police recovered several crucial pieces of evidence, including seven ICICI Bank debit cards belonging to CRPF personnel, along with a laptop, mobile phone, forged stamps, bank documents, and identity cards.
The Delhi crime branch has informed the Anantnag police in Jammu and Kashmir, who are set to take custody of Ahmad for further legal proceedings.
