Two Lankans arrested with fake passport- CHENNAI

Immigration authorities have nabbed two Sri Lankan nationals at the international airport after one of them tried to use a fake passport and visa to leave for Canada.

Police said P P Suryakumar (35), a native of Jaffna in northern Sri Lanka, had come to the airport on Friday night. He was detained by immigration authorities after finding that his documents were fake.

Meanwhile, Ajanthan (22), a resident of Kolathur here, but hailing originally from Jaffna, was picked up by the airport police on suspicion, as he was speaking in a Sri Lankan Tamil accent. Investigation revealed that Ajanthan had come to the airport to see off Suryakumar after arranging for fake documents to facilitate his travel to Canada.

Suryakumar, whose application for a visa to Canada had earlier been rejected, approached Ajanthan for help, who offered it for Rs 10 lakh.
