Passport  Tearing at Indian Airports.... Read it  Carefully.!! !



Be Careful at the Indian Airports,  This is a well organized conspiracy by Indian  Immigration, Police, Customs and Air India staff  with networking at all the Indian International  Airports.. Be careful 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. They 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 flaashing on the Passport  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 Hyderabad. Stayed  about a month and left for the States. When they  reached the States, the page of the American  visa on his wife's passport was missing. At the  time of departure from Hyderabad it was there,  the whole family had to return to Hyderabad 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 in  to 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 traveling  to & fro India via Bombay and Hyderabad 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 why,  when and who 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 is 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  interrogation. Obviously, the conspiracy started  about 2 to 3 years ago, now the results are  coming. Some of the Air India counter staff too  is involved in this conspiracy.



KINDLY  SEND THIS TO AS MANY AS YOUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE  WORLD AND ALSO REQUEST THEM TO CHECK THE  PASSPORT AT THE CHECKING COUNTERS AND BEFORE  LEAVING THE AIRPORT.
