media reports quoted Mohammad saying that several years ago a villager had helped him obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card and Aadhaar card to apply for a loan.
However, he was never able to secure a loan, and later lost the documents. Mohammad suspects that it might be the same documents that were later misused to create fake firms.
