Patna SSP Manu Maharaaj said the accused included Paramvir Ranjan (21), Uday Shankar (31), Munna Kumar (31) and Sujeet Kumar (25), all residents of Nauawa.

During investigations, Maharaaj said, police tracked the calls to Nauawa. “We have seized 13 cellphones from the possession of the arrested youths,” the SSP said and added a diary was also seized on the indication of the four youths.
“The diary has details of Rs 16.49 lakh collected from job aspirants,” Maharaaj said and added further investigations were on.
The gang was also involved in at least four other cases of forgery lodged with the Kotwali police station in Patna, said police sources.
