A Palestinian national was caught by the Army for trying to enter the Bengal Engineering Group (BEG) campus here, police said today.
The accused, who was wearing the uniform of a security guard, made the attempt yesterday purportedly to ask for a job at the BEG, and has been handed over to the police.
On interrogation, he identified himself as Hashim. He had come to India in 2008 and married a local girl in 2009. He was arrested after his visa expired in 2010, but was later released on bail, they said.
He had been working as a security personnel at an industrial unit in nearby Sidkul area and apparently entered the campus for employment at BEG.
He has been able to make an Indian voter ID card, they said.
Police are going through the mobile phone and documents recovered from the accused.
