Coimbatore, February 28: A 45-year-old man from Kerala was arrested at the airport here today while trying to travel to Sharjah on a fake passport, airport sources said.
They said Vijayakumar of Palakkad district was scheduled to board the early morning flight. However, immigration officials grew suspicious of the address given and on verification, found it had an address in Kumbakonam, though it was issued in Tiruchirapalli.
Since the man could not provide proof of residence, he was handed over to police, they said.
