Chennai: Sri Lankan native Nageem Abdul Sukkur (41) was apprehended at the city airport international terminal on Thursday after the CISF personnel found him carrying two rubber stamps with immigration permit seals wrapped in a paper in his pant pocket.
Airport sources said Mr Sukkur who came to Chennai to visit his uncle at Injambakkam cleared the customs and immigration checks before the CISF stopped him at the security clearance area. He was scheduled to take AI 273 flight to Colombo at 2.30 pm on Thursday.
“He was found carrying two rubber stamps normally used by the immigration officials to give permission to arriving and departing passengers. Initially, we thought that the passenger had stolen the rubber stamps when he crossed the immigration counters, but on checking, we found all the rubber stamps intact,” said an airport source.
