The Madhya Pradesh Police have seized from a SIMI activist an Aadhaar card with a 12-digit unique identity number bearing someone else's name.

Zakir Hussain, 26, a resident of Khandwa, was arrested last week by the Anti-Terrorist Squad of MP Police after a shootout near Ratlam railway station that left a constable dead and two police personnel injured.

The SIMI activist had received injuries from shots fired by his accomplice who, too, was arrested. He was wanted in connection with the murder of another ATS constable in 2009.

During a search at Zakir's rented place in Ratlam, the police recovered an Aadhaar card, a driving licence and fake marksheets. The UID card made in Nanded town of Maharashtra had Zakir's photograph but bore a different name, Sadique Khan.

Apparently, Zakir had married a local woman under a false name and showed her home as his residential address. One Mohammed Iqbal had signed the nikahnama as a witness.
