A local court in Azamgarh has recently acquitted an Afghan national in a fake passport case on the grounds of insufficient evidence and directed police to take action against the investigating officer for not carrying out a proper investigation.
According to prosecution, on February 2, 2020, as per the information received during patrolling in Phulpur area, the police arrested Kiramat Ullah Ahmadzai, who hailed from Afghanistan.
The police alleged that the Afghan national was seen previously with a person named Sahibe Alam who got arrested a few days earlier on charges of making a fake passport.
After the completion of investigation, the police filed a charge sheet against the accused.
