Another case of a fake passport racket has come to the forefront. A man tried sending a couple to Canada on fake passports. However, the Delhi police held him for the same. According to reports, a 29-year-old was held for his alleged involvement in a fake passport and visa racket that tried to send a young couple to Canada by giving them the makeover of senior citizens, said officials on Saturday.

Police arrested four associates of Bhupender Singh alias Vicky Nagra in June, and he has been on the run since then, said a senior official. Usha Rangani, Deputy Commissioner of Police, said the arrest of the accused was a result of an ongoing investigation into a passport and visa scam.

A man was arrested while attempting to board a flight to Canada.

In June, a man named Gurusewak Singh was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport while he attempted to board a flight to Canada. The passenger traveled with a passport issued in the name of Rashvinder Singh, a 67-year-old man, said another officer. He was nabbed after discrepancies were noticed in his appearance, the photo, and other details in the passport, especially the information about his age and physical features, said the official. During interrogation, it was revealed that he is 24 years old and hails from Lucknow. Investigations revealed that along with his wife Archana Kaur, Singh had paid ₹30 lakh to an agent, Jagjeet Singh alias Jaggi, to arrange fake passports and travel documents for their travel to the US and Canada.

The DCP said, “The couple had undergone an extensive makeover to match the profile of senior citizens. The syndicate involves several individuals, including Jaggi and his associates who facilitated the fraudulent operations.”
