�We noticed that they had been roaming around here for the last one month. We are carrying out an investigation to find out their motive,� Upadhaya added.
The deception was exposed after a police patrolling party detained four persons in uniform near MES point at the airport. �They were found loitering near the airport wearing uniforms unauthorisedly. Subsequently all the persons in uniforms were apprehended,� a police source said.
The police also seized fake ID cards, other documents, five bikes and a four-wheeler from their possession.
Police sources said that the mastermind Drimon Krishna Goswami issued fake appointment letters and identity cards to the other ten arrested persons. He was a BDS student pursuing his studies in Bhopal.
Drimon recently returned home and hatched the plot. After giving fake IDs to his accomplices, he brought them to Borjhar area and instructed them to carry out patrolling in the western part of the city, the sources added.
