| Three Sri Lankan nationals, suspected to have links with LTTE, and a Chennai man were arrested in the national capital allegedly with forge travel documents, police said on Wednesday.
The Lankans - identified as Francis Jansan(29), TS Ranjit (28) and John Mary Agastan (22) - were arrested from a hotel in Paharganj of central Delhi, a senior police official said.
The fourth person arrested is Ayakannu, who was accompanying the trio, who hailed from trouble-torn Jaffna, where LTTE and Sri Lankan army are battling for control.
The arrest by the Special Operation Squad of Delhi police Crime branch came after noticing of the suspicious movement of the trio near the hotel where they were staying.
The searches in their room led to the alleged recovery of forged Indian passports and visa.
''As of now we have not established that they have any links with Tamil Tigers. We have booked them under relevant sections of foreigners act. Investigations are on into all angles including the LTTE Link,'' the official said.
The Lankans are understood to have told their interrogators, including officers from intelligence bureau, that they have procured the documents from a Chennai-based man by paying about Rs 75,000.
The Lankans have given statement to police to the effect that they have no links with LTTE and left Jaffna as they were upset with the continued violence in the region and wanted to live a peaceful life.
A team has been sent to Chennai to nab the man who allegedly arranged the forged documents, the official said.
Delhi Police has already written to the Ministry of External Affairs to help them verifying the antecedents of the Lankans while waiting for the report from the team which has gone to Chennai, the Official added.
