An Indian cricket coach who stole another man's identity to stay in the UK was only discovered when the real man went to get his Covid jab and was told he had already had it.
Harshil Patel, 30, got married and obtained bank cards and a driving licence in the name of his wholly innocent victim Melvin Dias.
It emerged that Patel had overstayed his visa by seven years before he stole Mr Dias's details.
The 'talented cricketer', who arrived in Britain 12 years ago on a student visa, which was valid until 2012, made £23,000 working for Tesco and Ladbrokes in his victim's name over the 20-month period in which he had his identity.
Patel was finally caught when the real Mr Dias tried to book a coronavirus jab in May this year, only to be told someone had already been administered the vaccine in his name.
It was claimed he may have paid up to £65,000 for the false papers.
Patel was Jailed for 3 years...
