Aum man held over false info on driver's license

TOKYO — Police said Monday they arrested a former public relations manager of the Aum Shinrikyo religious group on suspicion of listing an incorrect address on his driver's license.

Yukihiro Bessho, 55, listed his previous address on the license when he renewed it in Tokyo on Nov 16 last year, the police said. Following the arrest, the police raided eight facilities of the group, which now calls itself Aleph, in Tokyo on Monday morning, they said. (Kyodo News)
