Fake passport scam: Cyberabad Police arrests two more

Hyderabad: The Cyberabad Police have arrested two persons on charges of fraudulently procuring Indian passports by producing forged identity proofs.
The arrested persons were identified as Prahlad Mondal (28) and Jaibal (27), who were nabbed by the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport authorities following a Lookout Notice issued by the police earlier.
They were handed over to the RGIA police for investigation. The fake passport racket, which came to light late in January with the arrest of three persons at the RGIA, has seen those obtaining such forged documents flying to countries including Thailand, UAE, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain and Mauritius.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar had earlier requested the Foreigner’s Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to open Look Out Circulars against 72 persons who fraudulently procured fake Aadhaar cards and Indian documents including passports and went abroad from Bodhan in Nizamabad.
Special teams are on the job to trace the remaining passport holders and absconding suspects. Nine people have been arrested in connection with the scam so far.
The arrested persons were produced before court and remanded in judicial custody.
