'Fake passport to evade law': US asylum gamble blew gangster Bhau’s cover

Gangsters Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria attempted to evade Indian law enforcement for several years by using fake passports. They subsequently sought to exploit US immigration laws to gain asylum in the United States.

Their plan ultimately failed when they were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Indian and US authorities confirmed the details of the operation, which exposed the fugitives' identities and led to their capture.
