Three arrested at KIA with fake visas

Bengaluru: Three persons who flew down from Kuala Lumpur with fake visas were arrested by the Kempegowda International Airport police.

The arrested are Yaseen Mohammed (26) from Hyderabad, Patel Keyulkumar (29) from Ahmedabad and Gurpreet Singh (29) from Amritsar.

As per the sources, the trio left India for Malaysia on tourist visas. Later, they approached touts in Malaysia and Indonesia to get the tourist visas converted to employment visas, which failed. In spite of it, they overstayed in Malaysia for some time before returning to India to search for jobs.

However, once again the three contacted a tourist visa broker and managed to stamp their passports with Malaysian/Indonesian immigration seals. At KIA immigration, officials checked their passports and found the fake visa stamps.

The three were booked under the Passports Act, informed sources.
