Lankan woman caught with forged passport

Chennai: Proving that the number of cases of deported immigrants is on the rise, a 23-year-old Sri Lankan woman, Khadeejha, was arrested at Chennai airport on Friday while arriving back at Chennai airport after being deported from London.
Khadeejha, who arrived in India 10 years back along with her father, was staying in Mandapam camp, near Rameswaram. “As she later fell in love with Muhammed Farooq from Chennai, who was working with a department store in London, she got married in 2006. When she found it difficult to get a visa to migrate to London with her refugee identity, she forged her passport with Indian identity with the help of a travel agent in Tiruchy and reached London on 15 days’ tourist visa,” said police sources.
“She illegally stayed in London for more than 15 months and while travelling back to India, was caught by the London police and deported to India,” he added.
According to the police, the airport police registered a case and remanded her in custody. The police at Chennai are on the lookout for the touts who got her the forged passport.
