Security Check Failure: Indian-Origin Woman Flew From UK To Delhi On Husband’s Passport

An Indian-origin businesswoman managed to travel from UK’s Manchester city to New Delhi via Dubai on her husband’s passport before the serious lapse was picked up in India, prompting the Emirates Airline to launch an investigation into the incident.

Geeta Modha, who runs Alankar boutique in Rusholme area of Manchester, left for the airport with husband Dilip’s passport by mistake for a business trip on April 23.

The 55-year-old was able to check-in and board the flight and was waved through a stopover at Dubai on to New Delhi before the error was picked up, according to ‘Manchester Evening News’.
