BJP for CBI or NIA probe into fake Aadhaar card, voter ID case

NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: The BJP on Wednesday demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation or the National Investigation Agency probe the fake voter ID and Aadhaar card case since it pertains to national security.

Referring to the recent arrest of three persons -- MSL Techno Solution owner Mounesh Kumar, his accomplices Bhagath and Raghavendra by the Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru in connection with the creation of fake identity cards -- BJP MLA and former minister S Suresh Kumar said the crime mentioned in the FIR against the three pertained to national security.

"The crime mentioned in the FIR is against national security. Preparing a duplicate Aadhaar card is a great crime from the national security point of view. All these accused are Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh's (Suresha B S) close associates," Kumar alleged.

"Since it is a serious crime, the BJP demands that the CCB cannot investigate this case. It should be investigated by the CBI or the NIA," he added.

Along with that, an order must be issued to cancel the Aadhaar cards created by MSL Techno Solutions because it is difficult to comprehend where these can be used in future, Kumar said.

He demanded that all the accused, howsoever powerful they may be, should not be allowed to escape.
