According to sources in the bureau of immigration, a man identified as Krupesh Patel from the Ranip area of the city was apprehended at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi on Aug 22 on charges of forgery and cheating. “Patel had approached the immigration authorities seeking departure clearance. He intended to board flight AI 187 and presented a Canadian vi sa with the number E731696672 to support his request.

During the scrutiny of Patel’s travel documents, the authenticity of the Canadian visa was called into question,” according to the FIR lodged with the IGI airport police in Delhi. The FIR further elaborates, “The matter was brought to the attention of the Canadian official due to the suspicious nature of the visa.
