Bangladeshi National Held At Bhubaneswar Airport With Fake Passport

Bhubaneswar: A Bangladeshi youth was arrested at Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) here for allegedly possessing a fake Indian passport. He was produced in a local court on Saturday.

He was identified as Ayan Sraman alias Barua (29) of Jaldi village under Banshkhali police limits in Chittagong of Bangladesh. He had been living at Ramakrishna Palli in West Bengal for 10 to 12 years with a Bangladeshi passport, which was found to be fake and fabricated.

Ayan was apprehended after landing at Bhubaneswar airport from Bangkok on a Thai Air Asia flight.

According to police sources, he had a passport issued by the Regional Passport Office, Kolkata, in the name of Biswanath Mandal. On searching, the police found a Bangladeshi passport, two Aadhaar cards, two mobile phones and a notebook. He could not produce a valid passport or visa documents to establish his identity.
