Kabootarbazi bid by couple, dummy daughter foiled

Ahmedabad: It was the perfect plan. This couple could have easily passed through the immigration check at Ahmedabad airport with a dummy daughter and her fake passport. A tip-off from city crime branch officials put a spanner in their works. Immigration officials at the airport successfully foiled a 'kabootarbazi' or human trafficking bid of a Chandlodia-based couple.
The couple, Jitendrakumar Hiralal and Daminiben Soni, was caught taking Komal Patel, 21, a resident of Jasalpur village in Kadi, by making her their daughter. The couple and Patel were caught from Ahmedabad airport on Thursday night when they were to board the Ahmedabad-Delhi-Chicago Air India 011 flight. The couple was helping Komal illegally migrate to Toronto via the US and had a tourist visa for Canada.
Immigration officials said that the trio was handed over to crime branch officials and the mastermind of the entire plan is Saijgam, Kalol-based agent Amrutlal Desai.
