BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh police have detained four teenagers and are looking for two other suspects in Morena and Bhind districts for alleged links with the 20-year-old man held in Uttar Pradesh for hacking the website of Election Commission of India (ECI) and making fake voter ID cards.
Three of them are residents of Ambah region of Morena, say sources, adding that two of those caught were intercepted while trying to escape from Bhind. A sixth suspect, identified as Hari Om, managed to flee his house before police arrived.
One of the detainees has told police that the group had access to a 2-crore database, which they would sell. Officers said one of the key accused is a Class X pass from MP but declined to give any more information, saying it was a sensitive investigation.
The alleged mastermind arrested in UP, Vipul Saini, allegedly made fake voter ID cards in his tiny computer shop in Sahranpur’s Nakud region. During interrogation, he has named a resident of MP’s Harda district, Arman Malik, as his accomplice, police said. MP police officers say that Malik lives in Delhi now and they are gathering information on him.
