Delhi Police are investigating after a 24-year-old man got caught at an airport in India for trying to board a flight to Canada disguised as a senior citizen.
On June 18, 2024, India’s Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) detained a man identified as Guru Sewak Singh at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) after officials became suspicious of his odd appearance.
According to a tweet by CISF, Singh was allegedly involved in human trafficking and impersonation.
Singh was trying to board an Air Canada flight using a passport of a 67-year-old man named Rashvindar Singh Sahota.
Now Toronto reached out to Air Canada for comment but did not hear back in time for publication.
Officials quickly noticed the discrepancy between his skin texture and voice which sounded youthful, than the age he was claiming to be.
Upon further inspection, officials discovered Singh had dyed his hair white and wore glasses to appear older.
An interrogation later revealed Singh’s real identity after officials led him to expose his actual passport.
Singh was then taken into custody by Delhi Police.
