The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted extensive raids in West Bengal and Sikkim, including Kolkata, Siliguri, Darjeeling, and Gangtok, targeting a fake passport scam. The agency arrested Gautam Kumar Saha, a senior superintendent at the Gangtok Passport Seva Kendra, and apprehended a hotel agent with Rs 1,90,000 in connection with issuing passports using forged documents. The investigation also led to the filing of a case against 24 individuals, including officials, involved in the issuance of passports based on fake documents in exchange for bribes.
