The Mumbai police on Friday registered a second FIR against Ukrainian actor Armen Garun Atayin (48), who was arrested by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police last month while probing the Torres Ponzi scheme.
The fresh case against the foreigner pertains to making a bogus birth certificate and using the same to obtain his Indian Passport, an EOW officer said.
When EOW officials arrested him on January 28 from the Versova area, he claimed to be an Indian national claiming his parents lived here.
Later, police also found a birth certificate from his possession. When police sent a copy of the certificate to the F-South ward of BMC to check its veracity, they learned that it was bogus. He had submitted this bogus certificate to obtain a passport for which he had made an online application, states the FIR.
