Abdul Karim Telgi's early life
Abdul was born in a lower-middle-class family, in Khanapur, Karnataka. His father used to work as a porter at Khanapur Railway Station. Abdul lost his father at an early age, and he decided to take care of his family. At first, Abdul earned his living as a fruit seller at the railway station. As Quint reported, Abdul managed to clear his basic education and went to Saudi Arabia, but he returned soon and shifted to Bombay.
As Quint reported, in 1991, Abdul was arrested for cheating and forgery and he was sentenced to a short jail term. In jail, Abdul met Ram Ratan Soni, a stamp vendor who was serving a sentence for alleged forging share papers. Soni got Abdul interested in the share market, and after completing his sentence, Abdul got involved in a bigger scam.
The Telgi Scam
With the help of Soni, Abdul started forging stamp papers As per media reports the legal document was always high on demand and less on supply. Thus, Telgi bought decommissioned printing machines from Nashik Security Press to print stamp papers. As reported, over the next 6-7 years, he kept buying machines to print fake stamp papers. His buyers would include common people, banks, brokerage, and insurance companies.
