Delhi Police Crack Down on Fake Visa Racket, Three Arrested in Job Scam

New Delhi– The Delhi Police has uncovered an interstate fake visa and overseas job scam that allegedly cheated hundreds of job seekers by promising lucrative employment abroad.

Three accused — Salauddin Mansuri alias Haider Khan, Md Shahzad, and Kaushar — have been arrested in connection with the operation.

According to officials, the syndicate targeted victims by offering high-paying job opportunities in countries such as Russia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. The accused allegedly issued forged visa documents and collected money from unsuspecting candidates.

The arrests were made following a coordinated raid near Netaji Subhash Place, where police acted on specific intelligence inputs about the racket.

Investigators revealed that the accused operated under a fake firm named Saba Enterprises, posing as recruitment agents. Mansuri reportedly impersonated a human resources manager using a fabricated identity to gain the trust of victims.

The group used social media platforms to advertise overseas jobs and asked applicants to submit their passports. These documents were then misused to create fake visas with counterfeit stamps. To make the scam appear credible, victims were also provided with fabricated verification links and invalid or cancelled flight tickets.

Police said the fraud typically came to light when victims discovered that their passports did not carry genuine visa stamps and the travel documents were invalid.

The accused frequently changed locations across cities such as Kolkata, Noida, Gorakhpur, and Patna to avoid detection, operating with clearly assigned roles within the network.

During the operation, police recovered multiple items, including original passports of victims, mobile phones containing fake visa data, forged job letters, e-tickets, cash, and identification documents, including an Aadhaar card under a false identity.

A case has been registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and the accused have been produced before a court in Rohini, which has granted police custody for further investigation.

Officials said efforts are ongoing to identify more victims, trace financial transactions, and locate the alleged mastermind, who remains absconding.
