Two detained with fake passports

Ahmedabad: Sardar Patel International Airport immigration officers nabbed two persons for using fake passports to board a flight for Kuwait on Monday.
The arrest has exposed an international illegal immigration racket with likely connections to Ahmedabad, said crime branch officials. According to immigration officials, the passports of the two men Mansur Hanifa Raut and Shankaran Shekhar, who came for security clearance for a Kuwait Airways flight, appeared to have been tampered with near the photographs. Later, a blue-ray machine confirmed that the pictures were pasted later.
"They spoke broken English and did not know Hindi. They wanted to go to Kuwait for employment. One of them confessed that he had managed to come to India from Kuwait on the forged passport," stated M N Sunesara, inspector of immigration dept.
