Lucknow, Oct. 30 -- An online gambling case in Nepal prompted a 23-year-old man to assume an Indian identity and obtain a passport using forged documents, police said on Thursday. He was arrested on Wednesday at Lucknow airport, on his return from Dubai. He travelled to Dubai in February 2026 using the passport and was intercepted by immigration officials when he landed in Lucknow on October 28, said ADCP South Vasanth Rallapalli. The identity fraud came to light during immigration checks on his arrival from Dubai, when officials found a Nepali citizenship certificate and a Nepali PAN card bearing a different name and identity details, according to police. An FIR was registered at Sarojini Nagar police station on a complaint by a junior immigration officer at Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport. Police have invoked provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Passport Act and the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. A forged Indian passport, a photocopy of the Nepali citizenship certificate, a Nepali PAN card, three mobile phones, a laptop and a smartwatch were recovered, police said. Further investigation is underway to establish how the accused procured the forged documents and whether others were involved....
