A fake driving licence racket was unearthed with the arrest of four persons in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, police said on Monday.
On a complaint by Haq Nawaz of Mahore, who claimed that a gang of agents took Rs 35,000 from him for providing him a licence, a case was registered at the Reasi police station.
During the course of investigation, police arrested Rajesh Kumar alias Happy and Sham Lal, who promised the licence in lieu of money.
