New Delhi: Three persons were arrested from the Indira Gandhi International Airport and fake immigration stamps were seized from their possession, police said.
Officials said the arrested persons were part of a human trafficking racket.
The arrests were made after a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel caught a passenger carrying forged security stamps of the Bureau of Immigration and Air India, minutes before he was to board a flight to Canada on Saturday night, officials said.
According to a senior CISF official, “Around 11.15 pm, while frisking Kulwant Singh (46), the CISF screener noticed a bulge in his pocket. When asked to produce the items, five rubber stamps, one belonging to the Bureau of Immigration and four to the security staff of Air India were retrieved. Singh was unable to give a satisfactory reply as to why he was in possession of the same.”
The security wings of the Bureau of Immigration and Air India inspected the stamps, and found them to be “forged and fabricated”, the official said. Singh claimed that Lidhar had promised him a job in Canada, for which he paid Rs 20 lakh.
