New Delhi, July 06: Unearthing a major fake visa racket, security personnel today detained 27 people at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here when they were trying to board two Dubai-bound flights allegedly with forged travel documents.
The detentions by the CISF came this evening after Kingfisher and Jet Airways call centres received calls from an anonymous person that these people were to board two flights to Dubai with fake visas. The caller also gave PNR numbers of their flight tickets, sources said.
All those detained were from the lower strata of the society who claimed that they had paid around Rs 60,000 to agents to get visas for Dubai where they were to get jobs, sources said. Some of the detainees are of Bangladeshi origin while the others are from north India, the sources said.
