BJP MP, Mr. Babubhai Katara was arrested at Delhi airport after it was discovered that he was trying to a woman and a boy out of India on his wife's and son's passport. He had managed to get through immigration and was detained by AI gate staff who found that the photograph on the passport did not match.

I suggest some radical punishment for these types of people - say castration for starters...
Disgusting. |

The fraud was detected at the boarding gate by the Air India staff who objected that the photographs did not match with the passport.
Well they got that far huh? The immigration people didn’t seem too bothered about it I guess because they let him through the first time. They only rushed into action when AI complained.
Sneaking objects through the x-ray machine, well ok that can happen once in a while. But clearing immigration with passports with different pictures?

I read somewhere that this is his 3rd time. So I guess earlier 2 were "successful". Jeez! Shame on him. |

Though unrelated, there was another news report on April 20 which mentioned that 6 persons of Punjabi origin were sentenced to a years imprisonment for trying to travel from Birmingham to Toronto on forged British passports. They had apparently come to Britain in a similar way from India. They were going to board the Air India Birmingham-Toronto flight when they were caught by a special passport check.
The impression given by the news report was that the special passport checks are done for certain flights like this one which have a reputation for carrying dubious persons.

this flight has to be one of the most vulnerable as it goes to favourite immigrant destinations of UK and Canada, and is also direct.. _________________ [url=http://openflights.org/user/aseemsjohri]

I think he should have been allowed on the flight and then get detained by Canadian Customs, then he wouldn’t have gotten any special treatment as is the Custom by Indian Police… |

In contrast, there is no immigration check at LHR for flights to India. Only the airline staff check your passport to check if you have a visa for your destination.
Some years back there was no immigration check for flights leaving Canada (apart from the airline staff check mentioned above). Is this still true? |
