Immigration officials at Mumbai’s international airport nipped a new modus operandi in the bud with the arrest of three people trying to fly out on fake boarding passes. The Sahar police seized from them fake passports, fake visas, rubber stamps of the immigration department and tickets to Armenia.
Ravikumar Dahyabhai Patel, Jayeshkumar Natvarlal Patel and Nidhiben Fuljibhai Parajiya, all residents of Mahesana in Gujarat, were caught at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Sunday. They told the police that they wanted to settle in Canada for which they had taken the help of agents. They first met an agent named Satish in Mahesana who took their original passports, other documents and photographs and told them that agent Sunny will guide them further, according to police.
