BANGKOK, March 22: Thai police said on Wednesday they had busted a major passport forging gang in Bangkok, a major Asian centre for fake documents, and arrested an Indian and a Pakistani. But police said the gang supplied people looking for work in richer industrial countries and they had found no link to international terrorist groups.
“This is one of the top 10 biggest gangs in Thailand,” Lt-Gen Suwat Tumrongsiskul, head of the Police Immigration Bureau, told Reuters Television.
Suwat said fake Indian passports were particularly popular among other South Asians who paid 50,000 baht ($1,300) for one including visas for developed countries.—Reuters.
