Dabolim Airport police arrested one Nisar Ahmed of Karwar-Karnataka during immigration procedure after his passport revealed travel history to Yemen, a country banned by the Government of India. The accused was released on bail later in the day.
A source said the accused Ahmed is presently residing in Belagavi and is a mechanic by profession.
"He had come to the airport and was trying to obtain immigration clearance to depart to UAE. The Immigration Officer noticed that accused Nishar Ahmed had travelled to Yamen twice between 2019-2021 even after being banned by a Gazette notification dated October 3, 2017,” said the source.
“He was then handed over to Dabolim Airport police and an offence was registered against him under Section 12 of Passport Act 1967.”
“It was noticed that he was frequently travelling to UAE and probably from UAE, he had visited Yemen on two occasions and returned to Goa from there. He was placed under arrest and he was released on bail later in the day," said the source.
Dabolim police is carrying out further investigation under the supervision of PI Ravi Dessai.
