Two passengers, including a woman, have been detained at Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport for travelling on forged travel documents. Both of them were deported by the immigration authorities at Dubai after refusing them entry. The youth has been identified as Manjinder Singh, a resident of Variyam Nangal and a woman from Ajnala. Both had gone to Dubai on an Indian passport.
