New Delhi: In a major crackdown on organised fraud, the Delhi Police Crime Branch (NR-1) has busted a fake overseas job and visa racket that allegedly cheated hundreds of job seekers by promising high-paying employment abroad.
According to officials, the accused lured victims with offers of lucrative jobs in countries such as Russia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. Once convinced, the victims were asked to pay large sums of money for visa processing and job placement, only to be defrauded.
Three accused have been arrested in connection with the interstate racket. During the operation, police recovered five original passports, seven mobile phones, multiple fake identity documents, debit cards, and cash, indicating a well-organised network involved in the scam.
Investigators said the syndicate used forged documents and digital communication tools to create a facade of legitimate recruitment agencies, targeting unsuspecting individuals seeking overseas opportunities.
The operation was carried out by a team led by Inspector Sanjay Kaushik under the guidance of ACP Ashok Sharma and under the overall supervision of DCP Pankaj Kumar.
Police stated that further investigation is underway to identify additional victims and trace the wider network involved in the fraud.
