3 SL men held at airport with forged passports, 1 flees

Vasco: Dabolim international airport witnessed high drama on Saturday morning when three men, suspected to be Sri Lankan refugees, tried to board a Frankfurt-bound charter on allegedly forged passports issued in Tamil Nadu. While two have been detained and are presently in the custody of Vasco police, the third escaped.
Airport immigration PI Rajan Prabhudesai told TOI that officials of the Goa-Sharjah-Frankfurt Condor Airlines got suspicious about the men as the charter rarely sees non-Germans. Refusing to issue the trio boarding passes, the staff alerted immigration police. As Guruparan Nanasiam alias Muthaiyam Ravi, Kuwasingham Nivakaran alias Rathmanathan Janarthan and Nanvaneethal Santhivatoss (real name not known) were being interrogated by immigration police, Santhivatoss asked to use the toilet and made good his escape.
Sources said he was allowed to go to the restroom without an escort and got away despite the immigration police desk being barely 40-50m away.
