The Delhi Police Crime Branch uncovered an interstate fake visa and overseas job scam that targeted numerous job seekers with false promises of high-paying jobs in countries like Russia and Turkey. Three suspects, including Salauddin Mansuri alias Haider Khan, Mohd. Shahzad, and Kaushar, have been apprehended, and incriminating evidence, including victims’ passports, has been seized. The operation, led by Inspector Sanjay Kaushik, was based on specific intelligence inputs about a fake visa racket deceiving job seekers seeking overseas placements.
The arrested individuals, hailing from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, were part of a syndicate that duped victims by offering lucrative foreign employment opportunities. The police team, under Inspector Sanjay Kaushik, meticulously tracked the movements and activities of the accused through fieldwork, technical surveillance, and ground verification. The raid, near Netaji Subhash Place in Pitampura, led to the successful capture of the suspects involved in the fraudulent scheme.
Salauddin Mansuri, one of the key operatives, posed as an HR Manager of a fictitious Kolkata-based company named “Saba Enterprises” and operated on a commission basis. Kaushar, another accomplice, recruited victims from various states, collected their documents, and used temporary or fake SIM cards for communication. Mohd. Shahzad, with a history of working in different sectors, played a role in bringing in clients and sharing the illicit gains. The syndicate’s modus operandi involved posting fake job advertisements on social media platforms, forging visa documents, and convincing victims to transfer money for visa processing and job placements.
The fraudulent operation, which spanned across multiple cities, was sophisticated and well-coordinated, with each member assigned specific roles. The accused frequently changed locations and company names to evade detection, leaving victims in financial distress. The police have recovered incriminating evidence, including original passports, mobile phones with fake documents, and cash, and have initiated further investigations to identify additional victims and apprehend the main suspect, Md. Munna, who is currently at large.
