Indian travelling from Iraq on docs of a wanted man booked
A 20-year-old man from Hyderabad who had arrived at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport from Iraq on Saturday was caught by the immigration department for allegedly travelling using the boarding pass of a man wanted by the Mumbai police’s anti-terror squad. Officials said that a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against the man on whose boarding pass the 20-year-old man had come to the country.
The Delhi Police said the man was booked for impersonation and was let off after a joint interrogation by police and intelligence officials. However, officials said they are probing the incident and role of officials of the Iraq-based airline with which the man had travelled.
According to the police, the incident came to light early on Saturday, when a man approached counter 22 of the immigration arrivals at Terminal 3 of the IGI airport. He had arrived from Al Najaf International Airport, Iraq.
