Udupi: Udupi City Police have arrested two persons for allegedly trying to mislead a court by using a fake Aadhaar card to help an accused get bail.

The arrested persons have been identified as 32-year-old Umar Farooq from Bantwal and 24-year-old Nishanth Kumar from Mangaluru. They were produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody.

According to the police, Farooq allegedly created a fake Aadhaar card to help an accused named Noman obtain bail. He reportedly used the Aadhaar card number belonging to a person named Prashanth and entered the name and address of K.T. Mohammed on it.

Farooq allegedly appeared as a different person and submitted the fake Aadhaar card before the court. The act was intended to mislead the court and also amounted to misuse of the identity details of the genuine Aadhaar card holder.

Police said Nishanth Kumar helped create the fake Aadhaar card using a computer.
