The case was registered on the complaint of immigration officials alleging that one passenger -- Balram of Sirsa in Haryana -- arrived from Dubai and was handed over to them by airlines staff, police said.
During inquiry, it was found that the passenger had departed from the Indira Gandhi International Airport here on April 28 for Dubai based on a UAE permit issued in the name of Balram but he was refused entry, the officer said.
An online verification of the visa revealed that the permit was issued to another person, the police said.
Following further investigation, the three accused involved in sending people abroad on fake travel documents were arrested.
The trio were involved in arranging fake visas for people to go to Dubai for jobs. They were primarily targeting people in rural areas of Haryana and Punjab, the police said.
