At least ten passengers on the ill-fated Air India Express flight from Dubai
were using fraudulent passports, it was revealed. Police in Mangalore in
southern India, where the plane crashed last week killing 158 passengers and
crew, have now launched an investigation into every travel document used on
the flight.
India’s ambassador to the UAE, MK Lokesh, said 10 passports had been “
tampered with”. Irregularities included false addresses and photos that did
not match the user. The investigation was initiated when a Dubai resident
registered a complaint with the Indian consulate after his passport number
and other personal details, including his address, were listed as belonging
to one of the crash victims.

Analysis and Forecast: Increasing Risk
The news that such a high number of travelers of an arguably random sample
of travelers out Dubai had fake passports, raises serious concerns about
Dubai’s security with regards to residents holding fake passports.
Public figures indicate that on average 1,200 fake passport holders are
caught in Dubai. However, judging by the figures coming out of the Air India
crash, the real figure may in fact be at least ten times this. The issue of
fake passports is a particularly sensitive one for Dubai as about 30 fake
foreign passports were used by the alleged assassins of the Hamas leader
Mahmoud Al Manhouh leading a diplomatic rows between Israel and the nations
where passports where faked in. The news that Dubai is in fact home to such
a large number of fake passport holders that are able to so easily travel
through the airport raises a serious concern about overall security and
requires the authorities to address the situation to avoid further outfall
and abuse. |
