Hi Guys,
I am visiting this board after a couple of months. I got my GC stamped and planned to visit India. In between I got this message from my friend. Please read it and be careful :
Please read and pass on .....
This is a well organised conspiracy by Indian Immigration, Police,
Customs and Air India staff with Networking at all the Indian International
Airports. Be watchful when ever you give your passport to
Immigration/Customs/Air India staff. The pass port can be easily tampered
and can create trouble to you. Our officials have found easy way of
making money from NRIs. This is the way it works. At the time of the
passenger\'s departure, if the passenger is not looking at the officer
while he is stamping the exit, the officer very cleverly tears away
one of the page from the passport. When the passenger leaves the
immigration counter, the case is reported on his computer terminal with full
details. Now all over India they have got full details of the
passenger with Red Flag flashing on the Pass port number entered by the departure
immigration officer. They have made their money by doing above. On
arrival next time, he is interrogated. Subject to the passenger\'s period of stay
abroad, his income and standing etc., the price to get rid of the
problem is settled by the Police and Immigration people. If someone
argues, his future is spoiled because there are always some innocent
fellows who think the honesty is the basis of getting justice in India. Please
advise every passenger to be careful at the airport. Whenever they hand
over the passport to the counters of Air India, or immigration or the customs,
they must be vigilant, should not remove eyes from the passport even if
the officer in front tries to divert their attention. Also, please pass this
information to all friends, media men and important politicians. Every
month 20-30 cases are happening all over India to rob the NRIs the minute he
lands.
Similar case has happened with Aramco\'s Arifuddin. He was travelling
with his family. They had six passports. They got the visa of America and
decided to go via hyderabad from Jeddah. They reached Hyd. Stayed about a month
an left for States.
When they reached States, the page of the American visa on his wife\'s
passport was missing. At the time of departure from Hyd. It was there,
without which neither the airline nor the immigration allow them to
leave.
Whole family had to return to hyd helplessly. On arrival at Bombay back,
they were caught by the police and now it is over 2 months, they are
running after the Police, Immigration officers and the Courts. On going into
details with him, he found out the following. One cannot
imagine, neither can believe, that the Indian Immigration dept can
play such a nasty game to harass the innocent passengers. All the passengers
travelling to & fro India via bombay and Hyd must be aware of this
conspiracy.
Every month 15 to 20 cases are taking place, at each mentioned
airport, of holding the passengers in the crime of tearing away the passport pages.
On interviewing some of them, none of them was aware of what had happened.
They don\'t know who, when and why tore away the page from the middle of the
passport. One can imagine the sufferings of such people at the hands of
the immigration, police and the court procedures in India after that.
The number of cases are increasing in the last 2-3 years. People who
are arriving at the immigration, they are questioned and their passports are
being held and they have to go in interrogations. Obviously, the
conspiracy started about 2 to 3 years ago, now the results are coming. An official
source who did not want to disclose his name & identity said that this is
a well planned conspiracy in which the Immigration dept. and the
Police dept.are hand in glove. Some of the Air India counter staff too is
involved in this conspiracy.
