Afghan national held at IGIA for entering on fake e-ticket

An Afghan national has been apprehended at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for entering the terminal illegally on an alleged fake e-ticket.

Officials said the incident was reported around 7:00 pm on September 30 when a person identified as S Mohammad Faiz was intercepted by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials while he was exiting the airport terminal.

Faiz, an Afghanistan citizen, told the sleuths that he entered the IGIA using a cancelled e-ticket to see off his mother who was travelling to Jeddah.

He said he had booked himself and his parents on a flight to Jeddah for September 29 but later changed plans and re-booked tickets for his mother to travel alone on Friday.

He later allegedly used the cancelled ticket to enter the airport.

As entering the airport terminal on a cancelled e-ticket is illegal, Faiz was handed to Delhi Police who apprehended him and booked him on charges of criminal trespass and cheating," they said.
