Three persons were arrested for allegedly carrying fake Indian passports and other documents at the Kolkata Airport on Wednesday night.
According to police sources, the three accused were apprehended while trying to board a flight to Dhaka. “After immigration officials became suspicious of their documents they started interrogating them. During interrogation it was found that the three are Bangladeshi citizens,” sources said.
They further revealed that after interrogation the three were handed over to the police and later arrested. “For several days we suspected that a racket for selling fake passports was working here. It is likely that these three got the passports from members of the racket,” a senior police official said.
