Telgi’s genius lay in the scale and audacity of his operation. Rather than just forging individual documents, he acquired retired printing machinery from the Government of India’s security press in Nashik. He then produced counterfeit stamp papers that were virtually indistinguishable from the originals. By infiltrating the distribution network and bribing officials across various states and departments, Telgi ensured his fake papers were sold through legitimate channels.
