We often heard in fairy tales such as Alibaba and 40 thieves as to how people hide themselves in small containers and stuff like than in order to escape from the eyes of certain people. But, such fairy tales are now turning out to be true with many illegal immigrants allegedly trying to enter some states by hiding in car bonnets and baskets!

A similar incident came to light in Bari of Italy. The immigration officials in Bari notice an illegal immigrant from Kabul of Afghanistan who was allegedly hiding himself under a bonnet of a car. He managed to fit himself in the small space between the engine and the grill of the car.

The police said they suspected the couple in the car who were very tensed when asked to show the documents. On smelling something fishing, the officials have pulled the engine cover and noticed this young man.
