The Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police has arrested a woman in possession of a forged passport which she used to fly to Kuwait to work as a domestic help.

Manu Maden Limbu (28), who hails from Terhathum was arrested at the Tribhuvan International Airport after she was deported by the Nepali Embassy in Kuwait yesterday.

The embassy had found that Manu was using a passport (No 4536323) issued to Nisha Limbu of Sanischare-3, Morang.

According to CIB, racketeers sent Manu to Kuwait via Delhi on August 24, 2010. Manu’s photo was replaced with that of Nisha to help her travel abroad.

During interrogation, Manu said she procured the passport and citizenship certificate for Rs 5,000 from a couple, who were from her home district.
