Dear Miss Powell

My only concern surrounding this matter is that the Indian High Commission has written to me that I should declare to the Home Office that my UK passport is stolen and apply for a new UK passport, which I believed would be a criminal offence because I have my passport in my possession.

Yours sincerely

Dr Shantanu Panigrahi

Dear Mr Panigrahi

Further to your email of 23 December regarding the validity of your current British passport.

Her Majesty’s Passport Office are the authority for issuing passports and therefore responsible for confirming the identity of the applicant and their claim to a British passport.

Our records confirm a passport was issued to you in May 2014 and is currently a valid travel document.

If the passport is lost or stolen, you must report it to us as soon as possible. If this is not applicable to you there is no need to report the passport lost or stolen.

Yours sincerely

Ref. AA/65498356

Please do not waste your taxpayer-funded time dealing with the

dangerous escaped (“lawfully absconded” is how he puts it)

lunatic Mr (not Doctor) Shantanu Panigrahi.

If you need more details, you could do worse than to ring

Sincerely yours,
