Ishaan Bukhari, a resident of Peer Mohalla at Handwara in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, was apprehended during a raid at Neulpur in the Dharmasala area of Jajpur district in Odisha. Many incriminating materials including more than 100 documents, numerous forged documents like foreign medical degree certificates, some blank signed documents, affidavits, bonds, identity cards, ATM cards, blank cheques, Aadhaar cards and visiting cards were seized during the search.

He has married at least 6-7 women from various parts of India including Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha.
