Mid-January, an immigration officer at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) caught Lakshman Bhattarai, 32, an aspiring football coach who wanted to work in Europe. Immigration officials discovered from his travel records that he was a Nepali citizen who created fake identity documents in India to get an Indian passport in 2017.
Over the past few months, immigration officials at KIA have been getting a number of cases of foreign nationals with valid Indian identity documents. Most cases involved residents of Bangladesh and Nepal.
According to sources, since September 2018, there have been eight cases involving Bangladeshi nationals, and two involving Nepali nationals. In the most recent case, a Nepali national was caught with a valid voter ID card from India.
“There has been an increase in the number of such cases in the last three months at KIA. When we detect such a case, we inform the agencies concerned and hand it over to the police,” said an immigration official.
