LUCKNOW, April 11 -- The alleged use of forged surety papers to secure the bail of listed western Uttar Pradesh crime figure Udham Singh Karnawal has emerged as the latest flashpoint in a widening investigation with Meerut police now probing whether a larger racket of fake guarantors, forged documents and court middlemen was used to facilitate his release.

The reason for widening of probe is a complaint by Anwar, a farmer from Sarurpur, who alleged that two local men took his Aadhaar, PAN cards and signatures on the pretext of arranging a loan. However, he later discovered that the same documents had allegedly been used as surety papers in Udham Singh's bail case.
