SRINAGAR: Police on Thursday registered a case in fake domicile certificate issuance case and booked three people, including a Rohingya woman, after she obtained a domicile certificate in her name, by fraudulent means.
Anwara Begum of Myanmar, a facilitator and a revenue official, who issued the domicile certificate, have been booked and are being questioned, Hindustan Times reported.
SSP Kishtwar, Khalil Poswal while speaking to Hindustan Times said, “In Kishtwar, especially in Marwah- Dachan areas, Rohingya women have married local men. Earlier, they were booked and convicted under the foreigner’s act, but now a case of obtaining a domicile certificate has surfaced.”
“Anwara Begum, who has married a local man Fayaz Ahmad Chopan in Dachan, has fraudulently obtained a domicile certificate. She is not the citizen of this country and therefore, law will take its own course,” he added. She obtained domicile certificate on September 19, 2020. However, the matter surfaced now.
Poswal said that the police have registered a case at Dachan police station under sections 467, 468, 471, 420 and 120-B of the IPC.
