A Chinese and a Nepalese have been arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for allegedly using fake travel documents and passport and illegally exchanging them to fly to each other's destination.
Officials said the incident was reported on January 15 when CISF personnel were alerted by a US-based flier about a passenger trying to fly to New York.
The CISF later found that the passenger exchanged his boarding pass inside a washroom in the terminal area with the other, and based on CCTV footage, they were intercepted and offloaded.
While one passenger got boarding pass to New York, the other got it for Mumbai, based on alleged fake travel documents and passport and later exchanged them, they said as they identified the Chinese national as W Pema and the Nepalese as W Tser.
"The two fliers were handed over to Delhi Police which arrested them. The police and immigration authorities are now probing if the case pertains to a human trafficking racket," an official said.
