history-sheeter of PS Kotwali in 1992 and due to observation on him

for being a history-sheeter, it was not possible for him to get any

it and a fake school transfer certificate of Govt. School, Bibirani.

and it came to notice that voter ID card that he edited actually belongs

to Kailash S/o Hukumchand, (husband of Manju). On the basis of

above false information and forged/fabricated documents provided by
