Mangaluru, Aug 18: A Dubai-bound NRI, who was detained at Mangaluru International Airport for carrying 26 passports belonging to different persons, was in fact a travel agent.

abdulla1Police officers, who subjected Abdulla (43), a native of Taliparamba in Kannur district of Kerala, to a prolonged interrogation, told Coastaldigest.com that all the 26 passports recovered from him were genuine.

He was detained after passports belonging to different persons were found in his baggage during immigration check, before the agent was to take a Jet Airways flight to Dubai at 11.30 p.m. on Tuesday. Later he was handed over to Bajpe police.

The police said that another travel agent, Sadakatullah from Dubai, sought help from Abdullah in arranging Haj travel for his 26 customers— 24 were Indians and US citizens.

Sadakatullah collected passports of his customers and handed them over to Abdullah before Abdullah left for Kerala via Kozhikode airport on August 5.

Incidentally, Abdullah managed to clear the security check at Kozhikode airport on that day. He approached a travel agency in Kanhangad, Kerala, to arrange for Haj pilgrimage for the 26 passport holders.
As the agency expressed helplessness in arranging for the services, Abdullah decided to return to Dubai with the passports from the Mangaluru Airport on Tuesday. However he was caught.

Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said that even though Abdulla had no intention to cheat anyone, being in possession of someone else's passport will be considered as an illegal act. He also confirmed that there was no fake passport with him.

The police have booked him under Section 12 (1) (d) of the Passport Act and continued investigation to find out whether there was any travel fraud in this case.

ALHAMDULLILLAH - Thanks to ALLAH..

99% of the cases are in such light (innocent is blamed), Now Some of the police officers are honest and they dont bow down to cheddis ideology which is to hate non hindus... If it was cheddi minded ... they would have already made him a scapegoat & mindless supporter would have jumped in the streets....

I saw many comments yesterday... from cheddi mentality...
its like jaundice will see everything Yellow.
Such intelligence of cheddis are ruining our country..
ALL cheddi gangs need to clean their disk first... before blaming the innocent... U guys have a history of blaming the innocent.

Listen to this... EVery deed U guys favor without true knowledge will be judged by the one who created U and ME and all that exist... Dont boost your evil will be successful.
Its a clear picture that yesterday on this particular news many cheddis already blamed and made him Terrorist.

its time to change cheddis fed mind and look everybody as human and not as hindus and muslims to divide india.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?”  the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.
