Chennai immigration detains 11 passengers with fake passports

Chennai: Seven air passengers comprising Indian and Sri Lankan nationals were detained at the Chennai International Airport in connection with using forged travel documents and fake passports to travel to Kuala Lumpur over the past three days.
Another four Indians returning to Chennai from Kuala Lumpur using fake passports were also held at the airport.
Bernama understands that it has been an ongoing trend for some Sri Lankans to arrive in Chennai to obtain bogus documents and fly to Malaysia or Singapore, and transit to the United States or Canada.
Last Wednesday night, airport immigration authorities detained three Sri Lankan nationals for swapping their airline boarding passes.
