AI boards RUH bound pax on an IC flight to MCT

Looks like checkin issued him the wrong bp, then immigration let him through without noticing the mismatch.
He only noticed once the FA began pre-flight announcements about flying to MCT.
It could have been worse, I guess. He could have slept through all the announcements, landed in MCT and got himself deported back

Monday night in CCU: AI (ground handling for MU) decided to board the China Eastern Kunming flight (B738 dep 0030) at the same gate at the same time as the LH flight to FRA (A330 dep 0055). Manual security check at the end of the walk way for the MU flight as pax were supposed to board busses to the MU flight, the LH pax were supposed to walk 50 m to the aircraft. All LH (full in C and Y, atleast 200pax) and MU pax (aprox 120) got mixed up, but we still left on time. I do not not know how. LH staff kept checking BP, but I think they just went by the LH yellow. Proof: when I went to to sit in my seat a gentleman was already sitting in it. His BP said "2A" and he refused to get up. Only problem was it was for his FRA-BEG flight 
Its seems security and immigration merrily stamped the wrong BP and the staff let him board with it (I clearly remember everyone pretending to read the BP)
