Mumbai: A criminal offence has been registered against a 28-year-old man from Punjab who tried to travel to London using bogus documents in a desperate attempt to join his family. While his parents and brother are settled in Canada, his sister lives in the UK. He had earlier attempted to reach Canada from Turkistan and Baku.

He revealed during interrogation that his sister had used an agent to get him documents related to a shipping company so he could travel to London.

Offence registered for cheating and dishonestly

On Tuesday, during immigration check at Mumbai airport, the man furnished his passport, the shipping firm’s documents, air ticket, boarding pass and e-migration letter. When Assistant Immigration Officer Anurag Kumar asked him about the shipping company’s details, he could not give satisfactory answers.

Verification of the documents revealed that the firm’s sign-on letter, letters of guarantee and invitation and the employee contract paper were forged. Thereafter, an offence was registered against him for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, besides other sections, under the Indian Penal Code.
