Updated: Oct 25th, 2024
Delhi police arrested an individual from Surat in relation to a Canada visa scam, where forged stickers were pasted on the passports to send the illegal immigrants abroad.
The accused, identified as Pratik Shah, was caught with 14 such forged visa stickers.
In September, Delhi police had made five arrests in the same racket, when a 21-year-old Kuldeep was caught with a fake work permit for Canada.
Upon interrogation, Kuldeep revealed that he had paid ₹18 lakh to an agent named Sandip for the work visa.
Following this incident, police arrested Nitin Sharma, Rina Kaushal, Gagandeep Kaur, and Sarbjit Kaur. It was also revealed that Sarbjit and Gagandeep targeted potential victims through social media.
Acting on a tip-off, Delhi police arrested Shah in Surat and seized the machines used for manufacturing the stickers.
To explore any links between Shah and international agencies, the Gujarat police have also joined the investigation.
