New Delhi, February 12

A Gujarat-based man and a woman were apprehended by CISF personnel at the Delhi airport for allegedly using fake passports for travelling to Canada, officials said on Wednesday.

Passengers Mehul K Prajapati and Sonalben Patel, both residents of Mehsana district in Gujarat, were intercepted as they exhibited “suspicious” behaviour when they arrived at the Terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday night.

They were supposed to board an Air Canada flight to Toronto.

The two were allegedly carrying passports in the name of Zahir Ahmed and Ayesha Bano Tippu, they said.

“The correct identity of the two was revealed after they were questioned. The passengers have now been handed over to immigration authorities for further investigation,” a senior official 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).
