In a significant crackdown on immigration fraud, the Anti-Immigration Fraud Unit has arrested a father-son duo, Rajesh Kumar alias Shammi and his son Jatin, for running a fake visa racket from Khedi Raipur Rani. The two allegedly duped multiple villagers with false promises of securing work visas for Canada.
According to the police, their deceptive operation involved initially sending victims to Indonesia under the pretext of a Canada work visa. After a short stay, the victims were brought back under false claims of visa delays. In the meantime, they were kept in places like Kurukshetra and Shahbad, while Rajesh and Jatin continued extorting more money from them.
The authorities have registered seven cases against the accused under several IPC sections, including 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 468 (forgery), 471 (use of forged document), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), and Section 24 of the Immigration Act.
Investigations are ongoing to identify further victims and uncover the extent of the scam.
