NEW DELHI: Three individuals were apprehended by the Indira Gandhi International Airport Police Station on Thursday for using counterfeit Aadhaar cards to unlawfully gain access to the airport premises.
The detainees have been identified as Md Istiyak, Sameer Khan, and Munish, all of whom reside in the national capital.
As per the authorities, the fabrication of the Aadhar Card was allegedly conducted to facilitate unauthorized entry into the airport premises and to utilize the forged identity to board a flight that was originally reserved under someone else’s name.The incident was brought to light on Wednesday when a traveler, initially claiming to be Danish Abbas, attempted to enter the terminal building at IGI Airport, Delhi, for a flight to Goa.
Upon examination, his Aadhar card, displayed on his mobile device, raised suspicion, according to officials.
“The ID shown on his phone raised some suspicion. After making the query, he revealed his actual name as Md. Istiaq and disclosed that he had edited his name in the Aadhar card as Danish Abbas as per the name in the booked ticket,” the police said.
Md Istiyak, the suspect, was interrogated and apprehended during the investigation.
“He admitted to fabricating the Aadhar Card with the help of his nephew, Sameer Khan, and a friend, Munish, who runs a cyber cafe,” the police said.
Subsequent questioning resulted in the arrest of Sameer Khan and Munish, who admitted their involvement in the fabrication of the Aadhar card.
“On interrogation, he confessed his guilt and disclosed that he has been running his cyber cafe for the last year. He further disclosed that accused Sameer Khan booked air tickets to Goa from his cafe and he had done fabrication on the Aadhar card on his request,” it stated.
