NEW DELHI: A 35-year-old Israeli man was nabbed by officials at Indira Gandhi International airport when he entered the premises using a forged ticket. He told the cops that he had come to Delhi to meet a relative, who was leaving for another country on Saturday. To spend an extra 10 minutes with his relative, he made a fake ticket and entered the airport to see him off.

Police said that the man was identified as Inbal Zadok. Zadok showed an edited flight ticket bound to travel from Delhi to Heathrow.

When questioned, Zadok even tried convincing the security personnel that the ticket was not fake but later confessed to having edited the ticket and was arrested, while his relative flew back home.

A case under sections 417 (Punishment for cheating), 447 (Punishment for criminal trespass), 467 (Forgery of valuable security, will, etc) and 471 (Using as genuine a forged document) of the IPC has been registered and investigations in the case have been taken up.
