Two Indians travel on fake passports

Chennai: Immigration authorities in Chennai say two Indian nationals boarded an Air France flight to Paris using fake seals and they would be detained in Paris.
They took the flight at Kamaraj International airport with fake seals of the Chennai Immigration Department.
Officials said the duo travelled on fake passports issued to two other persons - one in Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu and one in Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
The two had traveled in the names of Ahmad Maroof Ahmad Amin from Thanjavur and Kiran Kumar from Vishakapatnam.
"The duo boarded the flight using fake seals of the Chennai Immigration department. This was quickly detected and we informed the flight crew about the duo having used fake immigration seals. They will be detained on arrival at Paris," Avi Prakash, immigration officer said.
Since they gave the slip to immigration officials, details of their travel documents were not available. But the airline staff provided the names and passport numbers, he said.
