Two Cameroonian nationals who wanted to join their families in France were intercepted at the Mumbai airport on Friday after attempting to fly out using forged Guatemalan passports.
Alvine Nokam and Ololie Konhawo, who live in the Central African country, arrived at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Friday night to board a Jet Airways flight to Paris, the police said.
At the immigration counter, they furnished passports issued this year by Guatemala’s Director of Migration, and which identified them as nationals of Cameroon. However, a routine inspection by an immigration official of their passports under a scanner’s ultra-violet lights revealed that the bio-pages of both documents, which contained their names, ages, dates of birth, passport number and expiration date, were forged.

| Cameroon Women Held With Fake Passports |
Early on Saturday morning, immigration authorities handed over the women to the custody of the Sahar police station. They were produced in court on Sunday and a magistrate remanded them to police custody till November 21.
Their lawyer, Prabhakar Tripathi, argued in court that the women had been duped by their agent and that the Mumbai Police did not have any jurisdiction to investigate the crime as the alleged forgery had been committed in Cameroon.
