The Thimphu Police have forwarded a forgery case involving a printing house in Thimphu to the Office of the Attorney General, OAG. According to the police, the printing house allegedly forged documents of some individuals processing visas to travel abroad. The OAG received the case on the 3rd of January this year.
From forging documents such as Marriage Certificates to financial statements using fake seals, signatures, and certificates, police say the owner of the printing house had forged 99 per cent of the documents that are usually required for processing visas to travel abroad.
According to the police, they learned about the case through rumours and hearsay. After validating the rumours and conducting a search, the police detained the owner, who is in his 40s, in October, last year. The man is currently under detention.
