Suspect Lankan Tamil couple held at airport

A Sri Lankan Tamil couple was held at the Trichi airport by immigration sleuths on Sunday after it was found that they had fraudulently obtained Indian passports and attempted to fly to Colombo using the document.
S. Muthulingam (60) and his wife M. Maheswari (44) were later handed over to the Airport police. Airport sources said Muthulingam landed in India through Rameswaram in 1984 and settled down in Madurai.
He was running a medical store at Tallakulam in Madurai. In 1989, the couple, whose relatives were all residing in the island nation, managed to obtain Indian passports with which they had travelled to Sri Lanka and back a couple of times.
