PTC News Desk: Three men from Punjab were arrested by IGI airport police at Delhi airport after their documents and tickets were found to be fake. An agent was also arrested for felicitating their travel to Spain using forged documents. Reportedly the agent had promised them jobs in Spain after he was paid Rs 17 lakh for the illegal travel.
The agent has been identified as Kamaldeep Singh (25), a resident of Amritsar who went into hiding but was later tracked and arrested from Kurukshetra, police said.
He was working with another agent, Sonu Walia, already arrested by Punjab Police, to send the trio abroad on fake documents, they added.
"On May 29, three passengers from Amritsar arrived at the IGI Airport to board a flight to Madrid. Airline officials flagged their tickets as fake and referred their documents to immigration authorities. The Schengen visas on their passports were confirmed to be counterfeit by a Swiss liaison officer," said the official.
Schengen visa allows people from non-EU countries to enter Schengen countries (all in Europe) and permits free travel across borders within it.
The police have lodged an FIR and launched investigation into the matter. A manhunt to nab Walia has also been initiated and investigate te wider network.
