The Pune police have deported Sudhan Subbiah (37), a Sri Lankan national having LTTE links.
Subbiah was picked up from Lohegaon airport on September 1 while he was trying to fly to Germany on a fake Indian passport.
A police team handed over Subbiah to immigration officials at the Sahar international airport in Mumbai on Thursday night. He was put on a Colombo-bound plane around 3.10am.
Subbiah had allegedly tampered with the passport of one Marimuthu Raju, a resident of Alangottal in Tamil Nadu, and pasted his own photograph. He was detained by the Intelligence Bureau at the airport on suspicion before he could board a Frankfurt-bound flight on September 1.
Subbiah was under the observation of the Airport police station after the foreigners registration office restricted him from leaving Pune. The Sri Lankan embassy in Mumbai confirmed that Subbiah was a resident of Tiruvelli East, near Jaffna, and issued ham a temporary passport as he had lost the original one in Tamil Nadu.
