Immigration officials on Monday arrested a 35-year-old businessman from Nepal who was trying to board a flight to Bangkok using a valid Indian passport. The officials also caught a woman from India and a man from Nepal who told the officials that they had paid money to the accused to get a job in Thailand.
The accused, identified as Uttam Hamal Hari Prasad, was caught while trying to pass through the departure immigration counter. On suspicion, Chandan Kumar, an officer with the Bureau of Immigration, confronted him and found that he had a Nepalese accent and questioned him further to recover the Nepal citizenship card from him.
Further verification found that he had used dubious means to get a valid Indian passport and was taking the woman and man for jobs in Thailand.
