Dutch national uses fake ticket to see-off friend at IGI airport

A Dutch national was apprehended at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for allegedly using a fake ticket to enter the terminal area, a senior official said Wednesday.

K Ozer was intercepted by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel as he was about to leave the Terminal-3 building of the airport on Tuesday, the official said.

He was stopped and questioned as exiting the terminal area is not usually permitted for passengers, he said.

The man, holding a Netherlands passport, told the security personnel that he used a canceled ticket to enter the terminal area to see off his female friend, who was traveling to Dushanbe, the official said.

The man was subsequently handed over to the Delhi Police as his ticket was a fake travel document and he was charged with alleged trespass, he added.
