Police said the recovered items included a voter ID card, an Aadhaar card and two PAN cards, in addition to her Indonesian passport.
The card reportedly listed her father’s name as Li Chin Sen and showed an address at New Tangra Road in Tangra, Kolkata, West Bengal. Immigration staff grew suspicious after noticing that her appearance, mannerisms and conversation suggested she might be a foreign national. A search of her belongings allegedly led to the recovery of several Indian identity documents issued under different names and dates of birth. Immigration officials later handed over the woman along with the documents to the Sonauli police station for legal action. On the basis of a complaint filed by immigration officials and the documents submitted, police registered a case under relevant provisions linked to alleged forgery and misuse of identity documents. Investigators are examining the authenticity of the documents, how they were obtained and the channels through which they may have been issued. Police are also seeking to determine why the woman allegedly maintained multiple identities while holding an Indonesian passport and whether the documents were used for any other purpose.
