Gurgaon Police Uncover Bail Document Forgery Racket, Arrest One
In a significant crackdown, Gurgaon police have busted a racket that allegedly used forged documents to furnish a bail bond for a Polish national accused in a narcotics case. One individual has been arrested in connection with this elaborate scheme, which involved digital manipulation of identity documents to secure bail for accused persons lacking local guarantors.
Arrest and Modus Operandi Revealed
Police have taken into custody Anil Singh, a resident of AC Nagar in Faridabad, who works as an auto-rickshaw driver. According to authorities, Singh confessed to a methodical process of procuring someone else's Aadhaar card, digitally replacing the original photograph with his own, and submitting forged surety documents in court. This was done to facilitate bail for individuals who did not have access to local sureties, exploiting loopholes in the judicial system.
Case Background: Polish National's Bail and Subsequent Issues
The case centers around Patryk Dziwinski, a Polish national who was granted interim bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on December 23, 2025. The court suspended Dziwinski's sentence for 15 days on medical grounds, ordering his release on December 25, 2025, subject to furnishing bail bonds and two heavy local sureties acceptable to the trial court. He was instructed to surrender before jail authorities by January 9, 2026, and remain within the National Capital Region during this period.
Dziwinski was originally arrested in 2019 from Qutub Plaza under the DLF Phase-1 police station after authorities recovered more than 300 grams of opium from his possession. Following the grant of interim bail, Dziwinski failed to surrender as directed on January 9. In response, the High Court issued an order on January 19, 2026, directing police to arrest him immediately and take him into custody.
Dramatic Turn: Impersonators and Forged Documents Exposed
The situation took a dramatic turn when two men, Biswajit Malik and Naresh Kumar, were produced before the court and categorically stated that they had never stood surety for Dziwinski. They alleged that impersonators had forged copies of their Aadhaar cards and vehicle registration certificates, using these documents to prepare fake bail papers. Upon examination, the court found material variations and contradictions between the original documents and those submitted, leading to the discovery of the forgery.
Legal Action and FIR Registration
On February 11, the Chief Judicial Magistrate directed the registration of a First Information Report against the impersonators under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including:
- Section 318(4) for cheating
- Section 336(3) for forgery
- Section 338 for forgery of valuable security
- Section 340 for false document or electronic record made by forgery
- Section 61 for criminal conspiracy
Consequently, an FIR was officially registered at the Shivaji Nagar police station, marking a formal investigation into the racket. The CJM has also issued a notice to the Station House Officer to report on compliance with the High Court's directives regarding Dziwinski's arrest.
Broader Implications and Police Investigation
This case highlights vulnerabilities in the bail process and the potential for document forgery to undermine judicial proceedings. Police are continuing their investigation to determine if this racket was involved in similar cases or if other individuals are implicated. The arrest of Anil Singh is seen as a crucial step in dismantling this illegal operation, with authorities emphasizing the importance of verifying documents thoroughly in legal matters to prevent such fraud.
