They were arrested following a complaint by Air India Express officials who found their ticket to be fake, airport sources said.

The two were handed over to police where they told the officials that the tickets had been faxed from Singapore by a travel agency, sources added.

They were intending to fly to Singapore to work as daily wage labourers, they said.
