西孟加拉邦警察发现了向不存在的个人发出的几张护照的文件

加尔各答，5月15日，西孟加拉邦警察调查了多亿个伪造护照球拍，发现了文件，表明向根本不存在的个人发出了几张护照。

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.

西孟加拉邦警察在该州探查了多亿个假护照球拍，在调查中发现，向根本不存在的个人发出了几张护照。

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.

在向加尔各答高等法院提交的最新报告中，调查人员声称，至少有37条此类护照被发现向无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.

在审讯和现场验证期间，官员们找不到任何实例表明这些人曾经住在列出的地址。

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

州警方的消息人士说，这些调查结果表明在物理验证过程中的严重失误，这是护照发行的必要条件。

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

根据规范，警察核查人员必须亲自访问申请人的地址进行地面验证，然后才能清除申请。

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.

该案已指控两名负责此验证过程的警察人员。他们是加尔各答警察的退休副检查员阿卜杜勒·海（Abdul Hai）和穆罕默德·伊姆兰（Mohammad Imran），后者是霍格利地区昌德纳戈尔警察局的家庭警卫。

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.

根据州警察局的内部人士的说法，向不存在的个人的护照发现引起了严重的关注，尤其是考虑到涉及居住在西孟加拉邦印度和孟加拉国护照的孟加拉国国民的几起案件。

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.

调查显示，这些人中有许多人最初通过合法签证进入印度，随后通过此类球拍获得了包括护照在内的假印度身份文件。

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.

在相关的发展中，执法局（ED）最近从他在加尔各答北部郊区的住所中逮捕了前巴基斯坦国家阿扎德·穆里克（Azad Mullick）。据称，他正在经营一个通过假护照，签证和哈瓦拉交易的网络。使他的案件更加复杂的是，他首次使用伪造文件获得了孟加拉国公民身份，然后使用类似的方法来购买印度护照。
