Two Delhi-based travel agents, Udaypal Singh (42) and Tajinder (51), were arrested on Thursday for allegedly orchestrating a fake visa scheme to Poland. Their arrest follows the deportation of two passengers, Saurav Kumar and Sumit Kumar from Uttar Pradesh, who were caught carrying counterfeit visas while transiting through Dubai.
The two passengers had planned to reach Poland via Dubai but were detained at Dubai Airport due to fraudulent travel documents. Upon their return to India, police launched an investigation that led to the arrest of Paramjeet Singh, a key agent, who disclosed the involvement of Udaypal and Tajinder in the scam.
Authorities found that Udaypal, who had been previously arrested in 2024 for a similar fraud, ran a printing business that produced fake visas. Tajinder, working alongside him, facilitated the creation of fraudulent documents, charging clients up to Rs 10 lakh for fake visas and travel arrangements.
During questioning, Udaypal admitted to printing at least 11 fake visas before his arrest, explaining that financial struggles led him to collaborate with other agents in forging travel documents. Tajinder also confessed to his participation in the scam.
