Udupi Superintendent of Police K. Arun said in a statement on Saturday that they were staying with one Mohammed Manik, 26, who was caught by Immigration officials at the Mangaluru airport on October 10. The officials had found Manik using a fake passport to fly to Dubai.
Based on the information that was provided, the Udupi police have arrested the seven persons. Investigation is on as to how the accused secured fake Aadhaar cards and how they sneaked into India from Bangaladesh.

In a complaint against Manik to Mangaluru city’s Bajpe police, the immigration authorities said Manik came to the airport around 6 p.m. on October 10 to catch a flight to Dubai.
