India, July 28 -- A 37-year-old man was arrested in Faridabad on Saturday for allegedly forging documents and arranging for another person to impersonate a guarantor to secure bail in a drug smuggling case, police said on Monday.

The accused, a resident of Sanjay Colony in Faridabad, was arrested in a drug smuggling case in 2020 and granted bail by a Faridabad court in 2023. According to police, since he lacked guarantors, he paid an individual to impersonate Faridabad resident Naresh Kumar and submit the latter's identity and motorcycle registration documents without permission to secure his release from jail.

Police said the accused, an alleged interstate drug smuggler, later stopped appearing for court hearings and went into hiding....
