Two from NCP held for using fake IDs get bail

Panaji: The two NCP functionaries who used fake IDs to enter the starred hotel in Dona Paula that hosted the rebel Shiv Sena MLAs from Maharashtra, were released on bail.
Shray Kothiyal, 28 of Deehradun, Uttarakhand, and Sonia Doohan, 30, a resident of Hisar, Haryana, were arrested by the Panaji police under Sections 419 (impersonation) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC.
Police said that the two checked in on Friday, and that Doohan impersonated another person and booked a room online. When hotel staff realised Doohan’s ID was fake, they informed the police.
Police said that the hotel staff suspected that both entered the hotel with “malafide intentions”. A NCP functionary alleged the two had come to Goa as tourists and were being harassed by the BJP-ruled government here.
