<h1>Five arrested for running racket forging Aadhaar and land records to secure bail, implicating fraud, impersonation and record tampering</h1> Five people were arrested in Mangaluru on allegations of running a racket that forged Aadhaar cards and land records to secure bail for accused in criminal cases. Authorities say fabricated documents were submitted to courts and government offices, potentially affecting dozens of cases and official records. Investigations identified operatives who tampered with identity data, impersonated sureties, and a broker who arranged fake documents, with links to a computer centre. Police have detained multiple suspects, expect more arrests, and are probing offences likely to include forgery, impersonation, fraud, and misuse of public records.
