The police have arrested nine persons, including two Afghan nationals who have been living as refugees in India for over 20 years, and the manager of Turkmenistan Airlines in Amritsar, in a case of getting passports made by fraudulent means to help people travel abroad.
While the airlines manager has been identified as Dinesh Kurl, Afghan nationals are Pritam Singh and his wife Ajit Kaur. They were arrested after their extradition from Doha — the transit point — to Amritsar. According to sources, police came to know of the racket at the time of these Afghan nationals were boarding the flight, but let them go after alerting the authorities in Doha.
Among those arrested is also a head constable, Kulbir Singh — posted at division number 6 — accused of wrongly verifying the false address that helped Pritam and his family get passports on fake identities.
