The Special Cell of police filed the chargesheet in a court against Immigration officer Chaman Azhar, Jet Airways staff Manoj Sarpal and police sub-inspector Naveen Chandra alias Rajiv, indicting them for allegedly facilitating travel of passengers on forged passports and immigration stamps.
The three have been accused of committing offences of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence under the Indian Penal Code and also offences under the Passports Act.
