Kolkata, Nov 18
An Afghan national with a fake Indian passport was arrested at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International airport on Tuesday in West Bengal.
According to the police, a lookout notice was issued in his name in Afghanistan. The man was trying to flee abroad via India. The police, however, caught him red-handed.
The arrest comes in the backdrop of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise of West Bengal's electoral rolls by the Election Commission.
A large number of people are living in India illegally and are in fear of being exposed as a result of the SIR exercise.
