Kolkata, June 6
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has started tracking individuals whose fake Indian identity documents, including passports, were arranged by Azad Mullick, the Pakistani infiltrator arrested in Kolkata.
According to sources, the ED officials had secured the names of around 200 individuals whose fake passports were arranged by Mullick.
He used to run parallel rackets of fake Indian passports and hawala from his rented accommodation on the northern outskirts of Kolkata before he was arrested earlier this year.
The ED officials suspect that some of these individuals, who got fake Indian passports arranged by Mullick, have links with fundamentalist and terror outfits operating from Pakistan.
The investigating officials have definite clues that some individuals, for whom Azad forged fake documents, entered West Bengal either through Bangladesh or Nepal.
Subsequently, the sources added, they established contact with Azad through the latter's agent network, and finally, fake Indian identity documents, including Indian passports, were arranged for them.
