  • A joint team comprising STF, Military intelligence (MI), and cops carried out a raid at a warehouse near Kashigaon in Meerut district, around 2:30 pm on Friday.

    The operation was based on a previous tip-off by sleuths who had been monitoring the area for anti-national activities before Independence Day.

    Over 1.5 lakh copies were seized in the raid and six printing machines were confiscated.

  • As a result of the raid, 22 workers (17 men and five women) at the warehouse were apprehended, including the supervisor Shubham (30).

    The female workers were reportedly let off later, but the male workers were still undergoing interrogation.

    A report by Times Now has said that the counterfeit material used to be transferred in vehicles with the BJP logo to avoid arousing suspicion.

  • Action

    Case filed in Partapur police station under various IPC sections

  • Sanjay Solanki, the STF sub-inspector, has filed an FIR in the Partapur police station against Sachin, Shubham, and four others under various IPC sections.

    Apart from the warehouse, the gang also had a printing press at Mohkampur. Sachin is the owner of the warehouse and the printing press, confirmed police.

    Some wholesale and retail booksellers are also involved in the racket, police said.

    Police have confiscated around 364 types of fake textbooks from the Achhonda warehouse.

    Additionally, they also received information that Gupta was previously involved in printing duplicate UP board textbooks.

    Real v/s fake NCERT textbooks: Money matters

    SP's Akhilesh Yadav takes jibe at BJP over the incident

  • शिक्षा-नीति में बदलाव करनेवाली भाजपा पहले अपने उन नेताओं को नैतिक-शिक्षा के पाठ पढ़ाए जो करोड़ों रूपये के ‘नकली किताबों’ के गोरखधंधे में संलिप्त हैं.

    नक़ली ईमानदारी का चोगा ओढ़े लोगों का सच अब सामने आ गया है.
