Fake Jobs, Fake E-Visas: Gujarat Couple Held In ₹1.06 Crore Scam, 29 Cheated

Anand Police in Gujarat have arrested a couple in connection with an alleged overseas job and visa fraud involving twenty-nine suspected victims.

The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

The alleged scheme began to unravel when some applicants preparing to travel discovered that the companies listed on their work permits and employment documents did not exist. The promised jobs failed to materialize, and the funds collected from the applicants were reportedly not returned. Following a complaint filed on September 10, investigators formed a special team, raided the consultancy's office and other locations, and seized documents.

Initially estimated at around ₹78.80 lakh, the total suspected fraud amount increased to ₹1,06,26,960 as more individuals came forward and investigators recorded their statements. Authorities have taken the couple into custody while continuing to search for a third suspect. Investigators are also examining the financial transactions and bank accounts of the accused to trace the flow of funds and determine if additional accomplices or victims exist.
