CBI arrests Kalol-based agent involved in illegal immigration

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has strengthened its case against an illegal immigration network following the arrest of Jitu Patel in Florida. Originally from Kutch, Gujarat, Patel was allegedly involved in orchestrating illegal entry into the United States via fraudulent immigration routes, including misuse of the green card process.

Agents in India engaged in illegal immigration have been attempting to facilitate unauthorised entry through the Canadian border. Previously, they smuggled individuals into the United States via the Mexico-based ‘Dunki’ route. Those apprehended while attempting to cross the border disclosed that the operation was orchestrated by an agent Jitu Patel. As a result of these revelations, the investigation led authorities to Kalol.

Authorities believe Patel was part of a larger network operating out of Kutch, which has facilitated illegal migration for several individuals. CBI is currently monitoring major agents involved in such activities, with further arrests and legal action expected as the investigation progresses.

Earlier, the state monitoring cell busted a racket of illegal immigration involving 22 accused including mastermind Bobby Patel. 

The other masterminds of the illegal immigration racket, Charanjit Singh, Munno Khatri, and Mahekan Patel, have fled abroad. 

According to the police investigation, Singh, who is from Punjab, has fled to the US. Police believe that Patel is also in the US. Furthermore, the police investigation has revealed that the main accused, Khatri, is in Canada. 

Due to this, the police have issued red corner notices against all three accused. Actions up to extradition treaties are being carried out by the police. 

The CBI has arrested an accused there, and the investigation is currently underway to determine if these accused have any connection with Jitu Patel as well. However, CBI officials have refused to say anything about this. Despite such strict action being taken, Patel was still sending people abroad after taking money, so there is a strong possibility that he is part of a large gang. The CBI is likely to make major revelations in this illegal immigration racket in the coming days.
