A 28-year-old woman’s attempt to not let her mother know about her Goa vacation has landed her in police custody. After landing in the city from Dubai, where she works, the girl went straight to Goa with a friend for a vacation, but on returning she used a fake rubber stamp to change the date of arrival from Dubai so that her mother doesn’t find out about the trip. However, while she was going back to Dubai last Friday, the immigration officers noticed the forged date and handed her over to the Sahar Police. She has been arrested for cheating and forgery.

Amber Badruzzoha Sayad, who has been working in Dubai since the last three years, returned to Mumbai on March 14 last year and went to Goa along with a friend. She came back to Mumbai on March 20. According to the Sahar Police, after she arrived in the city, she forged the arrival date on her passport to convince her mother that she had just arrived from Dubai as the government was planning to stop international flights due to the pandemic.
