>>>BEWARE FROM CUSTOMS STAFF
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>This is a well organized conspiracy by Indian Immigration, Police,
>>>Customs
>>>and Air India staff with networking at all the Indian
>>>
>>>International Airports. Be watchful when ever you give your
>>>passport to
>>>Immigration/Customs/Air India staff. The pass port can be easily
>>>
>>>tampered and can create trouble to you. They have found easy way
>>>of making
>>>money from NRIs. This is the way it works:
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>At the time of the passenger's departure, if the passenger is not
>>>looking
>>>at the officer while he is stamping the exit, the officer very
>>>
>>>cleverly tears away one of the page from the passport. When the
>>>passenger
>>>leaves the immigration counter, the case is reported on his
>>>
>>>computer terminal with full details. Now all over India they have
>>>got full
>>>details of the passenger with Red Flag flashing on the Passport
>>>
>>>number entered by the departure immigration officer. They have
>>>made their
>>>money by doing above. On arrival next time, he is interrogated.
>>>
>>>Subject to the passenger's period of stay abroad, his income and
>>>standing
>>>etc., the price to get rid of the problem is settled by the
>>>
>>>Police and Immigration people. If someone argues, his future is
>>>spoiled
>>>because there are always some innocent fellows who think the
>>>honesty is
>>>
>>>the basis of getting justice in India. Please advise every
>>>passenger to be
>>>careful at the airport. Whenever they hand over the passport to
>>>the
>>>
>>>counters of Air India, or immigration or the customs, they must be
>>>vigilant,
>>>should not remove eyes from the passport even if the officer
>>>
>>>in front tries to divert their attention.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>Also, please pass this information to all friends, media men and
>>>important
>>>politicians. Every month 20-30 cases are happening all over
>>>
>>>India to rob the NRIs the minute he lands. Similar case has
>>>happened with
>>>Aramco's Arifuddin. He was traveling with his family. They had six
>>>
>>>passports. They got the visa of America and decided to go via
>>>Hyderabad from
>>>Jeddah. They reached Hyderabad. Stayed about a month and left for
>>>
>>>the States. When they reached the States, the page of the American
>>>visa on
>>>his wife's passport was missing. At the time of departure from
>>>
>>>Hyderabad it was there, the whole family had to return to
>>>Hyderabad
>>>helplessly. On arrival at Bombay back, they were caught by the
>>>police
>>>
>>>and now it is over 2 months, they are running after the Police,
>>>Immigration
>>>officers and the Courts.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>On going in to details with him, he found the following: One
>>>cannot imagine,
>>>neither can believe, that the Indian Immigration dept can play
>>>
>>>such a nasty game to the innocent passengers. All the passengers
>>>traveling
>>>to & fro India via Bombay and Hyderabad must be aware of
>>>
>>>this. Every month 15 to 20 cases are taking place, at each
>>>mentioned
>>>airport, of holding the passengers in the crime of tearing the
>>>passport
>>>
>>>pages. On interviewing some of them, none of them was aware of
>>>what had
>>>happened. They don't know why, when and who tore away the page
>>>from the
>>>
>>>middle of the passport.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>One can imagine the sufferings of such people at the hands of the
>>>immigration, police and the court procedures in India after that.
>>>The
>>>
>>>number of cases is increasing in the last 2-3 years. People who
>>>are arriving
>>>at the immigration, they are questioned and their passports are
>>>
>>>being held and they have to go in interrogations. Obviously, the
>>>conspiracy
>>>started about 2 to 3 years ago, now the results are coming.
>>>
>>>Some of the Air India counter staff too is involved in this
>>>conspiracy.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>KINDLY SEND THIS TO AS MANY AS YOUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE WORLD AND
>>>ALSO
>>>REQUEST THEM TO CHECK THE PASSPORT AT THE CHECKING COUNTERS AND
>>>BEFORE
>>>LEAVING THE AIRPORT.
