Border Crossing Dramas: Fiction vs Reality

Have you seen “Dunki” with Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu? This Bollywood movie grabbed attention with its tale of characters struggling to cross borders and enter the UK without permission.

Recently, a 24-year-old man was caught disguising himself as a senior citizen, attempting to reach the US from Canada via the Donkey route.

Foiled Attempt at Immigration Fraud by Guru Sewak Singh

The startling episode came to light when Guru Sewak Singh, a resident of Lucknow, was identified at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. On June 19th, he tried to travel to Canada by assuming the identity of a 67-year-old man, as reported by NDTV. From meticulously chosen attire to careful makeup, he went to great lengths to conceal his true identity.

Despite his elaborate efforts, Guru was apprehended, and his real identity was exposed at the Delhi airport. Driven by a strong desire to reach Canada, he had amassed several forged documents, including one under the name Rashwinder Singh Sahota with passport number 438851. He was accompanied by a woman during this attempt.

According to his falsified passport, his date of birth was February 2, 1957. Around 5:20 PM, officials from the Central Industrial Security Force became suspicious of the elderly disguise he and his alleged wife had adopted. They approached the immigration counter at Terminal 3, presenting their counterfeit documents in an attempt to board an Air Canada flight destined for Canada.

Guru and His Wife’s Deceptive Travel Plan

First, they planned to reach Canada and then navigate the challenging Donkey route to the US. However, suspicions arose when authorities noticed the 24-year-old’s youthful appearance and voice, despite his attempt to pass as a senior citizen. His behavior failed to convince everyone of his disguise. Prompted by these doubts, officials from the Central Industrial Security Force at Delhi airport initiated an investigation, ultimately uncovering the truth.

During their probe, authorities found another passport on Guru’s mobile phone, revealing his actual birthdate of June 10, 2000. The couple later admitted collaborating with Jaggi, a travel agent who facilitated their scheme. Jaggi had received an advance payment of ₹30 lakh for their journey, totaling ₹60 lakh in fees.

Exposing Fraud: Salon Makeover Leads to Arrests

Under the direction of agent Jaggi, Guru Sevak was taken to a salon in Tilak Nagar to undergo a transformation aimed at resembling an elderly man as depicted in his forged passport.

“A salon employee conducted the makeover to match the passport photo … Guru Sevak had his beard bleached white for Rs 2,000,” recounted an officer.

Subsequently, Jaggi was apprehended from his hideout in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand. During interrogation, Jaggi disclosed that he holds a degree and operates “True Talk Imagination,” a company based in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh. The company specializes in ticket bookings and facilitating international travel, initially partnering with agents involved in fraudulent activities.

“The salon owner, where the makeover was conducted, is currently under investigation and has been enlisted as a witness in the case,” confirmed an official source.

Deceptive Travel Scheme Uncovered

Delhi Police apprehended Guru and his wife for their involvement in the unlawful journey. Concurrently, authorities have launched an investigation to uncover further details regarding Jaggi and his role in facilitating these illicit services.
