HYDERABAD: Airport police on Monday arrested two more persons from Bangladesh who had managed to obtain Indian passports through fraudulent means.
After busting the Bodhan-based international passport racket, Cyberabad police had issued look-out circulars against 72 Bangladesh nationals who are said to have resorted to illegal means to obtain Indian passports.
Based on the circular, the two persons were arrested by immigration officials at Kolkata and Delhi international airports upon their arrivals from Dubai.
While Prahlad Mondal (24) was apprehended on April 4 at Kolkata airport, Joy Bala (31) was apprehended at Delhi’s IGI airport. Both are residents of Bangladesh’s Gopalgunj district. The two were handed over to RGI Airport police and sent to judicial remand on Monday. With this, the number of arrests in the case has risen to 12.
