Mumbai : The
Vile Parle Police on Wednesday arrested a clerk working at Santacruz
post office located in Terminal 1B of Domestic airport on charges of
making fake postal stamps worth Rs 10 lakh. The accused, Vinayak
Laxmanrao Chole (34), is a resident of Virar.
The police on Tuesday got information
from a person working at Krushna Xerox and Stationary shop in Vile Parle
that the accused had asked for colour Xerox of 1,000 copies of a postal
stamp sheet with 40 stamps costing Rs 25 each. Soon after, senior
inspector Raksha Maharao and Crime branch inspector Mahadev Nimbalkar
started investigating the matter and caught the accused. Nimbalkar
interrogated Chole and arrested him after he confessed to the crime.
“While getting the 1,000 copies made,
Chole asked the Xerox counter to put the triangular design which the
postal stamp has on all four borders. This aroused the suspicion of the
man working there,” said Sandesh Shinde from Vile Parle police station.
“TThe family came to the police station
requesting us to let off Chole as he is a government official. But the
accused is still in police custody. We will produce him in local court
on Thursday,” said Nimbalkar.
