Mizoram resident apprehended for illegally travelling to China

 NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police have apprehended a woman passenger for illegally travelling to China. The woman, a resident of Mizoram, never travelled out of India as per her immigration record and had gone to China using illegal means, said an official on Wednesday. According to an FIR, in the intervening night of September 8-9, one Indian female passenger identified as Krosthangmawai (25), a resident of Aizawl in Mizoram, arrived from China at IGI Airport. "During scrutiny of her travel documents and history, it was found that the passenger had never travelled out of India as per her immigration record," read the FIR.

However, upon arrival from China, an endorsement from the Indian Consulate in Guangzhou, China, was found on the seventh page of her EC, stating, "This EC has been issued to enable the applicant to travel back to India, who illegally entered the mainland of China without any valid travel documents. "The passenger was issued a passport from RPO Guwahati on February 26, 2019, but she did not ever use the same passport to travel out of India. Thus, it is clear that the passenger cheated Indian immigration by using illegal means to enter China. Hence, a case under relevant sections of law may be registered against all of them for cheating the Indian immigration authority," the FIR read. A senior police official said that a case under Section 12 of the Passport Act has been registered at the IGI airport police station and that further investigation is going on.

"Police teams are questioning the woman on the route she took to illegally enter China and the reason behind it," said a source privy to the investigation. (IANS)
