MUMBAI, Aug. 21 -- The sessions court on Wednesday rejected the bail application of a railway ticket agent accused of being part of a racket, which allegedly used forged Lok Bhavan letterheads, signatures, stamps and seals to secure railway tickets under the VIP quota. The police told the court that the accused and his associates had allegedly got around 400 e-tickets confirmed using forged documents linked to the Lok Bhavan and 23 other government offices. While rejecting the bail application of Mohammed Tarique Mahafuz Ahmad Khan, 33, Additional Sessions Judge SB Dige held that the allegations were serious and that the possibility of him tampering with evidence, pressuring witnesses or absconding could not be ruled out. The case came to light after Vishal Shinde, an assistant at Lok Bhavan, received two letters on February 6 bearing the name, signature and stamp of Abhaysinha Deshmukh, an IPS officer and personal assistant attached to the governor's office. The letters had been sent to the chief commercial manager, Central Railway, CSMT, for verification of railway reservation confirmation. They were found to be forged, after which Shinde lodged a complaint with the Malabar Hill police. Police told the court an inquiry into the passenger's name and record numbers of the tickets showed they had been booked using Khan's ID. A passenger, Jayprakash Yadav, allegedly told investigators that Khan was involved in making railway reservations under the VIP quota. The prosecution said Khan had disclosed during investigation that he had booked tickets prepared on forged Lok Bhavan letterheads, and handed them to co-accused Deepak Kumar for confirmation. The accused allegedly included Vinay Rawat, Deepak Kumar, Anup Kumar, Sagar Thakkar, Amrish Thakkar and Akash Maithi. Rejecting bail, the court noted that Khan had allegedly booked tickets from his own ID. These tickets were subsequently confirmed on the basis of forged Lok Bhavan documents. It also took note of the alleged recovery of forged stamps and seals from some accused....
