Rajkot: Notorious gangster Jaysukh Ranpariya alias Jayesh Patel and the three contract killers he had hired to eliminate advocate Kirit Joshi were booked in a new case of posessing fake passports.
Police said that the three contract killers - Hardik Thakkar, Dilip Thakkar and Jayant Gadhvi - admitted that the passports seized from them were made using fake birth certificates, Aadhar cards and voter identity cards.
The trio was arrested two weeks ago from Salt Lake area in Kolkata and brought to Jamnagar on transit remand.
Investigation revealed that Patel had helped them procure the passports using the fake documents from the passport office at Nashik.
After Joshi’s murder, the trio had flown from Bengaluru to Thailand where they lived at Bangkok and Pattaya and later travelled to Senegal in Africa where they spent most of their time.
Based on the new revelations, an offence of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy was registered at Jamnagar City A-Division police station on Monday.
