Bail guarantor booked for forgery

Vadodara: An FIR was registered at Gotri police station after a bail guarantor submitted a forged solvency certificate in the court of chief judicial magistrate here.
Mansukh Vasava, a resident of Siswa village in Vadodara taluka, had come forward as bail guarantor of Rajeev Kamboj. Kamboj and two others were arrested for stealing LED television, oven, computer, printer and other valuables from a restaurant on Sun Pharma Road.

After Kamboj’s police custody period had ended, he had applied for bail. The court of chief judicial magistrate had allowed him bail with certain conditions. Vasava presented himself as bail guarantor for Kamboj and presented solvency certificate issued by executive magistrate of Vadodara rural on September 21.

However, the court became suspicious about the genuineness of the solvency certificate for which the executive magistrate was asked to remain present with all documents. The executive magistrate informed the court that the solvency certificate submitted by Vasava was not issued by him. On being asked by the court, Vasava submitted a written explanation which did not satisfy the court.

The court then ordered to register an FIR against Vasava for submitting false evidence, signing false certificate, using false certificate as a true one, forgery and making counterfeit seal.
