Immigration sleuths at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, on Sunday, caught an air passenger who travelled to the city from Riyadh on a duplicate passport.
The accused, Mohammed Riyaz, was handed over to the RGIA police. Riyaz is a native of Kerala, who went to Riyadh in 2015 and was working as a labourer, police said.
“Unable to bear his employer’s torture, he decided to come back to India. He managed to obtain a passport with the same name but different photograph and landed in RGIA on Sunday around 6 p.m.” said M. Mahesh, inspector, RGIA.
