Mangaluru, Dec 14: A Person of Indian Origin (PIO), holding a United States passport, has been for submitting fake documents when he applied for an Indian passport.

According to police, 49-year-old Vinod Devasia, a native of Mangaluru, did not disclose that his United States passport had been impounded.

Devasia, who had worked as a software engineer in Houston, US, held an American passport and used to live at Houston with his wife and a minor son. He returned to Mangaluru in 2014 after his wife filed a police complaint accusing him of beating their son.

"As Devasia failed to appear before Houston police, a local court issued an arrest warrant against him on September 5. As a result, Devasia's passport was impounded," police said.

Recently, Devasia decided to return to US and applied for an Indian passport. While applying, Devasia did not mention he had a US passport and that it had been impounded. Devasia said he was applying for a passport for the first time.

During cross-verification, officials discovered that Devasia had an American passport and that it had been impounded. They filed a complaint with the police, who traced him near Jayanagar 3rd Block in Bengaluru and arrested him.

He has been sent to judicial custody in Mangaluru and the case has been transferred from Bengaluru to the Mangaluru East police station.
