Hindustan TimesA 30-year-old man has been arrested for forging official documents with fake letterheads of home minister G Parameshwara to secure VIP passes for Tirupati temple and extorting money from devotees, police said on Monday. The complaint was filed by K. Naganna, officer on special duty to the home minister, after he received a call from the chief minister’s office enquiring about the VIP pass for Tirupati temple. In the complaint, Naganna said that the accused had previously sought VIP passes several times from the CM’s office but this time they called him up seeking clarification in the matter. “They reportedly sent fake letterheads, bearing forged signatures of the minister, via WhatsApp to the CM’s office to obtain VIP passes for the temple,” Ashok said.
