Tokyo police said that they have arrested 27 year old Lin Rong because she has entered into Japan one year ago using a false passport and then stayed illegally in the country.

The local media said that previously in 2007 Lin Rong was send back to China for overstaying in the country. But, one year ago she sneaks back to Japan after altering her fingerprints by changing the skin of her index fingers and thumbs through surgery.

Jiji Press news agency and many other major newspapers reported that with the help of surgery she removed her skin patches from the digits of her left and right hands and then recreated them by interchanging the matching digits of her opposite hands.

After arrest lin Rong said to the police that she had paid 100,000 Yuan (i.e. $14,600) to the doctor for changing her fingerprints through the surgery. She has changed her fingerprints to get entry into the country.

This alteration of fingerprints would not be known if she was not been arrested in a false marriage with a Japanese man last month, said the reporters. After she was arrested in a false marriage, police noticed some unnatural scars in her fingers and doubt that she had altered her fingerprints. The police declined to comment about it in detail and asked the investigators to investigate about it.

After that the investigators crosschecks the fingerprints (mainly the fore figure) and databases of all the foreign nationals, who had entered into the country and even the people gone out of the country, in the Japan’s biological information identification system.

From that they came to know that Lin Rong has fooled the biometric security system in the airport and entered into the country with a false passport.
