Rishikesh: The STF team of Uttarakhand police arrested three accused on Monday night, including an employee of Common Services Centre (CSC) in Uttarakhand's Rishikesh, for issuing fake Aadhar and voter cards. The three accused used to make fake cards for people of Nepali origin, who come to Uttarakhand, to work as labourers.
People of Nepali origin come to work in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand. These people work as labourers during the construction of houses, bridges and roads. Seeing the good standard of living here compared to Nepal, many people have the desire to settle here. Such people get Aadhaar and Voter ID cards.
