Polish woman arrested at IGI with forged visa
A Polish woman was arrested from the Indira Gandhi International Airport here for allegedly travelling on a forged visa, the police said on Sunday.
Marzeena Bartosik, 22, was apprehended at the immigration late Saturday night before she was to board an Air China flight to Beijing, a senior police official said.
“On scrutiny of her passport, it was found that Indian multiple visa no.-Y 826165 issued from Oslo, from November 16, 2011 to November 15, 2012, pasted on page no. 35 of the passport is counterfeit,” the official said.
A case of cheating and forgery and violation of Foreigners Act has been registered against her.
Bartosik told immigration officials that from Poland she had visited London and Abu Dhabi.
“From Abu Dhabi, she reached Kathmandu on Christmas and stayed at Yatri Hotel and visited Kapilvastu besides other places. She entered India from immigration land check post in Sonauli, UP, on New Year’s Eve. In India, she visited Varanasi where she stayed at Hotel Pallavi International and Othra Resort,” the official said.
“She told us she also visited Agra and Jaipur, where she stayed at Hotel Pink Palace and arrived in the capital yesterday,” the official said.
Bartosik told immigration officials that she received the visa online, he added.
