Three Cypriots held with fake passports at Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad: Immigration officials at the Ahmedabad international airport have detained three Cyprus citizens who were about to board the afternoon Ahmedabad-London Jet Airways flight using fake passports.
An official who was here to train the Ahmedabad immigration staff noticed that there were no water marks in the passports of Alexandros Dimitrios (31), Mezynsky Jasek (18) and Jani Marusz (20), though their visas were genuine. Further scrutiny revealed that the passports were fake with some pages freshly stuck together.
During the last two months, five rich Punjabi youths and two Sri Lankans carrying bogus documents have been arrested in the city.
An airport official told Khaleej Times that Ahmedabad was increasingly being used as a transit point by illegal immigrants and their agents to sneak into the UK from where they easily enter the United States.
