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.

Star Air is a known name in the Indian aviation industry that is recognized for its unmatched safety, comfort, and on-time performance records.

It was praised in the past for connecting the unconnected by commencing commercial flight services to many Tier-II and Tier-III cities in India that were not graced with airline services before.

And now, after gaining the trust of over 1,00,000 customers from all across India and serving countless prominent VIP's, it has launched its charter service business.

It holds a valid license for charter service business and operates as per the protocols defined by the DGCA. The company has a team of experienced pilots, technicians, and staff that assures one gets a best-in-class charter service with complete safety and without any hassles.

"We are delighted to expand our airline operations by opening this private charter services. Like our scheduled commercial airline services, we are offering a world-class charter service keeping your comfort, safety, and overall flying experience in mind, said Sanjay Ghodawat, Chairman - Star Air.

Bengaluru, Feb 18:  A fan of Kannada film star Darshan smashed the face of a police constable with a boulder when the latter asked him to come in the queue to a party to celebrate the star’s birthday.

The incident happened past midnight on February 15 near the residence of the film star where his birthday was being celebrated.

The injured police constable has been identified as Devaraj, attached to the Jnana Bharathi police station.

The film star’s managers had not made arrangements to handle a huge crowd that gathered near his residence and police had a tough time controlling the crowd.

Constable Devaraj was deputed to duty at the party and tried to get the crowd to fall in line.

As the police carried out a mild lathi-charge to control the crowd, a fan of Darshan came up with a boulder in his hand and smashed the face of the constable Devaraj from very close distance. The constable collapsed on the spot and the attacker ran away.

The impact was such that Devaraj’s nose was fractured and he sustained an eye injury. He was admitted to a private hospital and his condition is said to be serious.

The R R Nagar police have registered a case under IPC sections 353 and 352. The cops have launched a hunt for the accused and they are obtaining CCTV footage from the spot.

A complaint is being registered against the organisers of the event and an investigation is on. Several neighbours of Darshan have also complained to the police about the chaos on February 15.
