Two Sri Lankan nationals were arrested at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata with fake Indian passports on Thursday.

The two accused, identified as Suresh Karani and Jebanesam Ramerswani, sneaked into India from Sri Lanka around 10 years ago and were operating with fake documents since then.

They had been living as citizens of the country after procuring forged documents.

Two days ago, they had flown to France via China, where the French Immigration officials had detained them to verify their passports on grounds of suspicion.
