The Ernakulam rural police remain puzzled by the sudden spurt in attempts to fly abroad using forged educational and travel documents.
As many as 12 cases were registered this month alone for such illegal attempts to fly to the U.K. through the Cochin International Airport Limited. This has prompted the formation of a special investigation squad led by Aluva DySP to probe these cases.
“The accused were charged with different offences, including forgery of educational qualification certificates and travel documents. They were found in possession of fraudulently secured student visas. We are not ruling out the involvement of an inter-State racket behind these incidents,” said K. Karthik, District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural).
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
