西孟加拉邦警察發現了向不存在的個人發出的幾張護照的文件

加爾各答，5月15日，西孟加拉邦警察調查了多億個偽造護照球拍，發現了文件，表明向根本不存在的個人發出了幾張護照。

The West Bengal Police, probing a multi-crore fake passport racket in the state, has found in its investigation that several passports were issued to individuals who do not exist at all.

西孟加拉邦警察在該州探查了多億個假護照球拍，在調查中發現，向根本不存在的個人發出了幾張護照。

In a recent report submitted to the Calcutta High Court, the investigators claimed that at least 37 such passports were found to have been issued to persons who could not be traced at the addresses mentioned in the documents.

在向加爾各答高等法院提交的最新報告中，調查人員聲稱，至少有37條此類護照被發現向無法追溯到文件中提到的地址的人。

During interrogation and field verification, officials could not find any instance suggesting that these individuals ever lived at the listed addresses.

在審訊和現場驗證期間，官員們找不到任何實例表明這些人曾經住在列出的地址。

Sources in the state police said the findings suggest serious lapses in the physical verification process, which is mandatory for passport issuance.

州警方的消息人士說，這些調查結果表明在物理驗證過程中的嚴重失誤，這是護照發行的必要條件。

As per norms, police verification officers are required to visit the applicant’s address in person for on-ground verification before clearing the application.

根據規範，警察核查人員必須親自訪問申請人的地址進行地面驗證，然後才能清除申請。

Two police personnel tasked with this verification process have already been accused in the case. They are Abdul Hai, a retired sub-inspector of Kolkata Police, and Mohammad Imran, a home guard attached to the Chandernagore Police Commissionerate in Hooghly district.

該案已指控兩名負責此驗證過程的警察人員。他們是加爾各答警察的退休副檢查員阿卜杜勒·海（Abdul Hai）和穆罕默德·伊姆蘭（Mohammad Imran），後者是霍格利地區昌德納戈爾警察局的家庭警衛。

According to insiders in the state police, the discovery of passports issued to non-existent individuals raises serious concerns, especially in light of several cases involving Bangladeshi nationals living in West Bengal with both Indian and Bangladeshi passports.

根據州警察局的內部人士的說法，向不存在的個人的護照發現引起了嚴重的關注，尤其是考慮到涉及居住在西孟加拉邦印度和孟加拉國護照的孟加拉國國民的幾起案件。

Investigations have revealed that many of these individuals initially entered India legally on valid visas and subsequently acquired fake Indian identity documents, including passports, through such rackets.

調查顯示，這些人中有許多人最初通過合法簽證進入印度，隨後通過此類球拍獲得了包括護照在內的假印度身份文件。

In a related development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently arrested a former Pakistani national, Azad Mullick, from his residence on the northern outskirts of Kolkata. He was allegedly operating a network dealing in fake passports, visas, and hawala transactions. What made his case more complex was that he had first obtained Bangladeshi citizenship using forged documents and then used a similar method to acquire an Indian passport.

在相關的發展中，執法局（ED）最近從他在加爾各答北部郊區的住所中逮捕了前巴基斯坦國家阿扎德·穆里克（Azad Mullick）。據稱，他正在運營一個通過假護照，簽證和哈瓦拉交易的網絡。使他的案件更加複雜的是，他首次使用偽造文件獲得了孟加拉國公民身份，然後使用類似的方法來購買印度護照。
