Two persons, allegedly involved in the sale of fake ILPs, were arrested from Lakhimpur district of Assam.
Capital Superintendent of Police, Surinder Kumar, said the fake IPLs, both permanent and temporary ones, bore forged signatures and seals of various issuing authorities of the state government.
With assistance from the Assam administration, the Arunachal Police have arrested Abul Kalam and Abdul Kasam of Fatehpur under Bihpuria in Lakhimpur district on Friday.
The two were produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate here yesterday and remanded to four days police custody.
A search operation has been launched to detect such fake ILPs in the Capital Complex and to nab other culprits who manufacture and sell fake ILPs in capital region, the SP said.
As Arunachal Pradesh falls under restricted area, official permission is required to enter the state. The ILP is one such permit required by Indians other than natives of Arunachal Pradesh for entering any place in the state.
