The incident took place on June 4 and the three labourers were identified as Kasim, Monis and Soyeb.

The police have booked the three under Sections 465 (forgery), Section 419 (cheating by personation), Section 120B (criminal conspiracy), Section 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and Section 468 (forgery for cheating) at Parliament Street police station.

The FIR states, the CISF official deployed at Parliament House, Iron Gate No. 03 for checking photo IDs, on June 4 at 1.30 p.m. detected three workers -- Kasim, Monis and Soyeb, while they were trying to get entry on Casual entry pass.

"Monis and Kasim presented Aadhaar cards with the same number but featuring different photos. They created these forged documents as part of a conspiracy, using them as genuine identification, with Kasim also impersonating Monis,” read the FIR.

The FIR further said that all three workers are working under the contractor Sahnawaj Alam who hired them.

"Additionally, it appeared to be either one or both Aadhaar cards of Monis and Kasim were forged," the FIR Said.
