The Economic Offences Wing of Ambala police has arrested a man for allegedly preparing fake visas.

The accused has been identified as Ajay Kumar, a resident of Punjab. He was arrested from Gurugram and produced before a court in Ambala on Tuesday, which sent him to a two-day police remand.

DSP Rajat Gulia said, “A complainant in his complaint in January this year had stated that he was duped of over Rs 14 lakh on the pretext of sending his son abroad on a work visa. The matter of fake visas being prepared by the accused also came to light. A case was registered under cheating charges against five people. In March, one person was arrested in this case, and during further investigation, a raid was conducted in Gurugram, from where Ajay Kumar was arrested.”

“During the raid, two mobile phones, holograms, cutting machines, three passports, one pan card, laptop, cheque book, passport cover, plastic sheet, and other equipment and material used in preparing fake visas were recovered. Further investigation is on and more people are likely to be arrested in this case,” he added.
