AHMEDABAD: A Romanian national, 42, was held at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) Airport on Tuesday for allegedly presenting forged visa and immigration documents as he overstayed in the country. A visa agent, Manoj Joshi from Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, was also booked in the case as he provided a forged visa to the Romanian national to stay in India.Hansraj Rathi, an immigration officer on duty at Terminal-2, reported that on Tuesday, around 9:00 PM, a passenger arrived at the immigration counter for a flight to Abu Dhabi, scheduled to depart at 10:40 PM. The passenger, identified as Dragomir Mihail Gadriel from Romania, presented a Romanian passport and an Indian visa to the immigration counter.During verification, the officer found discrepancies. The visa issued was for 90 days, but the submitted document reflected a 180-day stay. Further, the exit permit provided by the passenger showed an expiry date of 29 May 2025, while the official e-FRRO permit from New Delhi showed the correct date as 19 May 2025.On questioning, Gadriel admitted that both the altered visa and the forged exit permit were arranged through Joshi. Following this, immigration officials submitted a formal written complaint. Airport police registered a case of forgery, cheating, and use of false documents under the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. Cops also seized articles, including the passport, boarding passes, and visa copies from Gadriel, and a written statement was taken from him.Special Operations Group (SOG) began an investigation to trace the agent and identify any possible links to other similar incidents. Cops are yet to know what Gadriel had done in country apart from touring and why he overstayed in the country.
