A large-scale fake document racket was busted in Delhi, resulting in the exposure of a criminal operation that spanned five years. The illegal unit had reportedly generated over 5,000 fake visas during this time, valued at approximately ₹300 crore. The operation involved producing counterfeit documents to help individuals obtain visas for foreign countries.

Several arrests were made, and the authorities seized significant evidence, including fake documents, visas, and machinery used in their production. The group had been targeting visa-exempt individuals seeking easy access to other countries.

The investigation revealed that the fake documents were used to fraudulently secure entry into various nations. This illegal activity posed a major threat to the integrity of international visa systems, as many individuals who used these services managed to bypass regular visa procedures.

Authorities are continuing their efforts to identify others involved in the racket and ensure that security measures are tightened to prevent similar future incidents. The case highlights the ongoing issue of fake documentation for visas in India.
