Fake Visa Case: Delhi Police Arrests Man From Bengaluru Airport

The Delhi Police on Saturday has arrested a man from Bengaluru airport in connection with a fake passport-visa racket.

They stated Sadiqulla Baig was taken into custody at the Bengaluru airport upon arrival from Dubai on Thursday.

While informing about the arrest, Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI) Usha Rangnani said that a look-out circular had been issued against Baig after his name surfaced in a case of fake visa in Ludhiana.

Rangnani stated, Bengaluru airport staff alerted security personnel as soon he landed in India, following which he was taken into custody and handed over to the Delhi Police.

Furthermore, Rangnani stated that a passenger identified as Harvinder Singh Dhanoa of Ludhiana was found travelling on a fake Canadian visa provided by an agent, Muskan alias Manpreet Kaur, a few months ago.

The officer stated, Police then arrested Manpreet, who disclosed that she paid Rs 5 lakh to another agent, Sadiqulla Baig, based in Bengaluru for it.

She added that several police raids couldn’t trace Baig and hence, the look-out circular was issued.

Another police officer stated that Baig disclosed during an interrogation that the fake visa sticker was provided to him by a Dubai-based agent.

Furthermore, the officer said Baig told police that he and his associates cheated people for the sake of easy money.

During further investigation, the man’s bank account was frozen. The officer said, there was Rs 1.5 lakh in it and Baig told investigators that he transferred the rest of the money to his relatives.

He added that the efforts are underway to trace his possible involvement in other similar cases.
