Manoj Guta had shifted to Gaighata, near the district's international border before escaping to Bdesh
-
Manoj Gupta, the agent associated with a fake passport racket in West Bengal and arrested by Kolkata Police, had plans to escape to neighboring Bangladesh, said sources here.
It was precisely with that motive, he had shifted to the rented accommodation at Gaighata in North 24 Parganas district which is close to the district's international border with Bangladesh.
Gupta was the seventh and last arrest made by the cops since 15 December for their involvement in the racket operating from the state and engaged in arranging fake Indian identity documents, including Indian passports, for the illegal infiltrators from neighboring Bangladesh.
