GUWAHATI, SEP 23: The Assam police have arrested two persons who had been posing as a married couple and staying at a hotel in upper Assam Tinsukia district for over one month with alleged fake identity documents.
Tinsukia Superintendent of Police, Debojit Deuri said, “The man hailed from Karnataka and the woman from Jammu and Kashmir were staying at a hotel in Tinsukia as a married couple since August 16, though there are doubts about their marital status.’’
“They had used fake identity cards for the hotel accommodation. The Army had doubts over them, and when the matter of fake cards came to light, the Army personnel lodged an FIR at the Tinsukia Sadar police station,” Deuri said.
He added on the basis of the FIR, they were arrested on Thursday evening.
Deuri said the main allegation against them is the use of fake identity cards, though the possibility of them having links from ISI or jihadis is also being looked into.
“We are looking into all the angles and our investigation is going on,” he added.
