Sinha said the arrested persons were identified as Sarvesh Kumar and Ashish Das, both residents of Namkum and Hindpidhi police areas of the city.
Several items like rubber stamps and pre-inked flash stamps of various ranks, including constable, head constable, medical officer, major and colonel were also seized from Sarvesh's shop named 'Rathore General Store', he informed.
The SSP further said that based on Sarvesh's information, they nabbed Ashish, the owner of a shop named 'Das Sound' for making the stamps.
A computer processing unit was also seized from Ashish.
"Sarvesh has not provided the authorisation letter and other documents for selling the Army stamps. Ashish said he has been manufacturing stamps on Sarvesh's order for the past four years. The accused persons claimed that an Armyman had verbally ordered them to make and sell the stamps. We are trying to ascertain who that Armyman is," Sinha added.
Police said they were investigating the case from various angles, including misuse of fake stamps for false recruitment and for masquerading as Army officers.

Senior citizen duped of Rs 98,000 in online scam
Udupi: A senior citizen allegedly lost Rs 98,000 in an online scam. In a complaint, SS Nayak, 71, claimed that he had uploaded information about renting out his house on the OLX app and the 99Acres app. On July 30, at around 7.30pm, an unknown person called him, claiming to be an Army officer. He said he was transferred to the Udupi district and was looking to rent a house. The caller told the complainant that his senior officer would transfer the advance rent amount to his account. During a conference call, another person posing as an Army officer spoke and sent an online form via WhatsApp. As the complainant began filling out the form, he was asked to deposit Rs 5 into his account to verify the process. After doing so, he received a message confirming the Rs 5 credit. The fraudster then convinced him that by continuing to fill out similar online forms, he would receive Rs 48,000 and Rs 50,000 in his account. As the complainant proceeded to fill in the forms, the caller asked for his internet banking user ID and password. When the complainant refused to share the details, the call was disconnected. The next morning, at around 7.30am, when the complainant checked his internet banking account, he discovered that Rs 98,000 had been fraudulently withdrawn. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo He complained.
