The Delhi police has arrested two Nepalese carrying fake Indian passports and claimed to have busted a network of travel agents who sent people to Afghanistan on fake passports.
The police arrested Vishnu Nath Gurung and Krishna Bahadur Rai at Indira Gandhi International airport on Sunday and recovered two fake passports from their possession. Police officials said that the two had got jobs as security guards with a private agency hired by US-led allied forces in Kabul.
“They had fake Indian passports in their names issued by the Regional Passport Office in Guwahati. Their passports were arranged by an agent in Kathmandu who got their visas and ticketing formalities arranged through another travel agent in Delhi,” a police official said.
The police had earlier arrested R.P. Yadav, a travel agent from Shakarpur who blew the lid off the racket.
