A 25-year-old fashion merchandising student, SS Ghatol, was arrested at Mumbai airport on Thursday while trying to board a flight to Singapore for an internship.
Immigration officials found that four pages were missing from her passport, leading to her detention. Police reported that Ghatol had removed the pages to hide a previous trip to Thailand, which she had concealed from her institute by falsely claiming illness to avoid an exam.
She now faces charges of cheating and violating the Passport Act for tampering with her travel documents.
