Bengaluru Rural police on Monday arrested a Pakistani national, his Bangladeshi wife and her parents, living in India with fake passports and Aadhar cards for the last decade. They were found in a rented villa at Jigani on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

The police seized their passports and Aadhaar cards, which they procured using fake documents.



The accused are identified as Rashid Ali Siddiqui (identified in his Indian passport as Shankar Sharma), his wife Ayesha Hanif (Asha Sharma), and her father Hanif and mother Rubina.

Investigation revealed that the family entered India through West Bengal in 2014 and lived in Delhi till 2018, before moving to Bengaluru.
