One arrested for trying to board flight without valid papers

One person was arrested at the airport here for allegedly trying to board a flight to Qatar without valid documents, police said today.
Gunasekaran was disembarked from a flight bound for Qatar on May 6, after immigration officials found his passport having a Emigration Check Required (ECR) stamp, despite having a work visa, which was not approved by the Protector of Emigrants, a police release said.
On being sent out of the departure terminal, Gunasekaran called an agent Kamaruddin, who in turn called the immigration officials, allegedly threatening them, to let the passenger continue his journey.
On finding the duo outside the terminal after few hours, immigration officials found out that the visa Gunasekaran had was a work visa, for which he should have had an Emigration Check Not Required (ECNR) stamp.

On complaint from the Immigration Officer, Airport police arrested the two and remanded them in judicial custody, the release said.
