Visa fraud: 6 persons arrested


Chandigarh, November 26
The Chandigarh Police today arrested six persons for submitting fake documents with the visa office while applying for tourist visa to the UK.
A special investigation team set up on immigration, student and tourist visa fraud, headed by DSP Anil Joshi, arrested Vikram Sharma, alias Vicky, and Viney Chadha, operators of the Atlantic Overseas Consultancy at Sector 32 here, on November 18.
The police today arrested Amandeep Singh of Yamunanagar, Sukhdev Singh of Karnal, Manjit Singh of Khalsa Basna village in Kurukshetra district, Kashmir Singh of Paherkalan village in Patiala district, Amrik Singh of Patiala and Kulwinder Singh of Jalandhar.
The police said these six applicants had gone to the visa office of the UK in Chandigarh and submitted documents with addresses, bank statements, income tax returns and mobile numbers, which were fake, intentionally in connivance with the main accused for getting tourist visa to the UK illegally.
Joshi said the Chandigarh Police was taking action not only against immigration companies, but also against applicants who were intentionally instigating these companies to prepare fake documents.
