New Delhi, September 13

Three Doha-bound travellers have been apprehended by the CISF at the Delhi airport for allegedly carrying “fake” Indian passports, officials said on Monday.

They said the passengers were intercepted at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on September 11.

They were offloaded from a Qatar Airways flight and handed over to the Delhi Police.

“The three had fake Indian passports and in the phone of one passenger, a copy of Bangladeshi passport was recovered,” they said.

The three were handed over to the police by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and they have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Passport Act dealing with cheating and impersonation.

The nationalities of the passengers is not clear, the officials said. —PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
