New Delhi: Delhi police have arrested seven passengers for allegedly trying to travel with fake documents from city airports, officials said on Tuesday.
One agent has also been arrested in connection with the incident, police said.
The accused agents have been identified as the PANKAJ alias Kamal, residents of Bhadohi Regency above.
The passengers have been identified as Armandeep Singh, Amritpal Singh, Jagdeep Singh, Gurwinder Singh, Rahul Jangra, Deepak and Manbeer, they said.
On January 2, a complaint was received at around 12:30 a.m.
that was approached by Indian water staff approached to burden seven Indian passengers.
This passenger was previously cleaned by immigration for London with flight no.
Al-133 as a sailor, police said.
During the supervision of their travel documents in the gate cottage, it was found that their fake boarding feedback and re-verification of travel documents was carried out, they said.
During re-verification, it was found that their name was not reflected in the last PAX manifest from the chart of travel from Al-133 flight and they were handed over to immigration, police said.
These seven suspected people revealed that they bought their boarding passes, RT-PCR test reports and OK to take a boat, join two Delhi Krishna and Kamal-based agents for payment of Rs 12.00,000 each.
These agents also convinced them to their permanent settlement in England, said a senior police officer.
During the accused interrogation, it was also revealed that all of these passengers went to England as a sailor on the CDC (continuous release certificate) approved by Indian DG shipments, police said.
However, it was also planned that they reached the British, they would destroy the CDC certificate and seek asylum from the British government, the officer said.
Agents have this concern that if passengers approach counter airlines for boarding passes, airline officials can capture them based on their profile.
Therefore, the agent gives fake boarding to passengers so they can avoid going to the counter, police said.
During the investigation, the police found the PANKAJ above.
A team went to Bhadohi and arrested him.
Pankaj revealed that he, together with his colleagues Ranjeet and Krishna, arranged fake boarding feedback for passengers, deputy commissioner of Police (IGI airport) Sanjay Tyagi said.
Furthermore, according to the charges in FIR, the role of the airline staff who tried to encourage passengers to travel with fake boarding tickets was also under the scanner and were being investigated, the police said.
The PANKAJ is a graduate of B.Tech and currently works as a property dealer in Mumbai.
He also works as an agent in Mumbai and regulates visas / passports in an unfair way, they add.
