The Uttaranchal police on Tuesday arrested two persons who had allegedly forged documents to secure bail for Sher Singh Rana, the prime accused in Phoolan Devi murder case, and Ravinder, a police official said.
"With the arrest of Surinder Singh and Pradip Singh, who had forged documents for securing bail for Rana and Ravinder, the game plan of Rana to put an alibi in the case has been fully unravelled," Director General of Police Ashok Kant Sharan said.
They were arrested from Shyampur area of Hardwar, he said.
During interrogation, they confessed to having forged documents for securing the bail of both Sher Singh Rana and Ravinder in a Hardwar court on July 26, he said.
Pradip told the police that one Sharavan was lodged in the Hardwar jail in place of Rana. However, Ravinder was actually present in the jail, the DGP said.
Rajvir, who was arrested earlier, was also involved in the conspiracy to forge the bail documents.
