After finding a fake passport in which star Aishwarya Rai's photo was forged, the Uttar Pradesh Police detained three suspected fraudsters in Greater Noida. According to the media, the authorities have begun questioning the suspects about their plans for the stolen property.

The gang also used dating apps and matrimonial services as tools to commit fraud.
As reported by Navbharat Times, police discovered a fake passport that used a photo of Aishwarya. A date of April 18, 1990, and the city of Bhavnagar, Gujarat, appear in the birthplace column.
The police recovered equipment and cash totaling $3000 (2.50 lakh) and 11 crores in fake money from the accused. They managed to get back ?11,000 stolen by the gang.
The police have begun investigating how many false documents portraying well-known figures the team has fabricated.
The police discovered that this gang was committing fraud by acting as representatives of other companies, including Abbott Pharmaceuticals Company.
They also duped a retired colonel into buying Kolanat to create a cure for breast cancer.
The arrested suspects lacked valid visas and passports. It's still unclear what role their fake passports played in their fraud. This is not the first time Aishwarya's false passport has been found.
Those arrested have been identified as Eke Uferemvukwe, Okoloi Damion, both from Nigeria, and Adwin Collines, who is from Ghana, the police said.
A copy of Aishwarya's passport was discovered in Gujarat in 2012, as the Times of India reported.
The photocopy of her passport included her photograph, name, birth date, birthplace, and passport number. The place of birth column stated Mangalore, Karnataka, and the date of the birth column read 1/11/1973.
The photocopy of the passport indicated that it had been renewed on May 2, 2006.
Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam's magnum opus period action-drama flick Ponniyin Selvan I, which garnered overwhelmingly positive public comments.
The film's leading actors are Vikram, Trisha Krishnan, Karthik Sivakumar, and Jayam Ravi. In all languages, the film has grossed over 300 crores.
