Man Arrested for Alleged Fake Documents at Mumbai Airport
Imagine someone wanted to travel for work on a ship, but their paperwork wasn't right.
A man named Ganesh tried to board a flight, but officials found a problem with his seafarer's certificate.
The dates didn't match official records.
Ganesh admitted that he didn't get the proper stamps when his ship was suspended.
He then paid a shipping agent, Vikram, to forge the stamps.
The agent allegedly charged him a lot of money to update the documents.
Now, the police are investigating both Ganesh and the agent for potential fraud, possibly involving a larger scheme of fake documents.
Ganesh Sachin Kalambe was caught at Mumbai Airport with mismatched CDC dates.
The sign-off date on Kalambe's CDC did not match official records.
Kalambe admitted he approached a shipping agent, Vikram Mishra, to forge stamps.
Mishra allegedly charged Kalambe for updating the documents.
Police are investigating the case, suspecting a larger document forgery racket.
