Punjab Travel Agent Arrested for Arranging Fake Visas

A travel agent based in Punjab was arrested for facilitating fake visas. The accused, Harinder Singh, was caught by the Chandigarh Police after complaints were lodged against him for defrauding several individuals by providing them counterfeit visas for Canada and Australia.

The police operation resulted in the confiscation of multiple fake documents and a computer used for creating these forgeries. The investigation revealed that Singh had been running this fraudulent operation for several years, targeting people eager to move abroad for better opportunities.

Victims were charged significant amounts of money for the fake visas, which led to financial losses and legal troubles when the documents were discovered to be fraudulent. Many victims only realized they had been scammed upon being denied entry at international airports.

Singh's arrest highlights the prevalent issue of visa fraud in the region, where individuals are lured by the promise of easy immigration processes. Authorities urge the public to verify the credentials of travel agents and report suspicious activities to prevent falling prey to such scams. The case underscores the need for stricter regulations and vigilant monitoring to curb the spread of fraudulent visa schemes.
