Due to suspicion rising on the two luxury cars, we initiated a search of the two vehicles. Upon search, we recovered one fake army identity card. On questioning, one of the occupants in the car said that he is an army personnel. When we asked for more documents to prove their identity, they failed to do so and brought the four to the Rangia police station for more questioning. After further verifying with one of the personnel from the Red Horn Army division camp, we were confirmed that the army identity card is fake. Following this a case was registered against the four. Currently interrogation is underway. Four persons have been apprehended. On further questioning, the four apprehended persons said that to save toll tax they made this fake identity card".
