Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police arrested a Bangladeshi man while he was trying to enter the country with a forged passport stamped with a valid residence visa.

Policeman Khalifa Ali Al Rumaithi, of the Passports Section at the Abu Dhabi airport, managed to foil the suspect's attempt when he discovered the forged passport due to the difference between the man's picture on the passport and the picture saved on the airport's computer.
