A 65-year-old man from Sivaganga district was booked for forgery and was booked under the provisions of Passport Act for getting a second passport with fake date of birth on Saturday.

According to police, the Airport Immigration officials found that the passport of the man from Puthupatti was suspicious when he tried to board a flight to Dubai.

During interrogation, the man claimed that he had worked in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai for 25 years in the past.

However, as his passport had no records of his foreign visits he was further grilled.

Then, the man produced his old passport.
