Man held with forged passport

Kolkata: Emigration officials at NSC Bose Airport today held an Indian resident, who was born in China and later took Canadian citizenship, for travelling with a forged passport. A page of the passport was also torn. Mr Peh Chee Chiu (38) resided in Tangra area and left for Canada in 1990. He obtained Canadian citizenship in 1993. In 2004, he came to India with a Canadian passport with two years visa. In 2006, he renewed the visa for another two years which expired last year. He tried to renew his Canadian passport from Delhi but his appeal was rejected. With Canadian passport having become invalid, he managed to procure an Indian passport on a Tatkal basis. While he was trying to go to Hong Kong via Bangkok early this morning, emigration officials detected some discrepancy in the passport and started questioning him. Initially pleading innocence, the man later broke down and confessed to having procured the forged passport. He was handed over to the police.
