Five individuals have been formally charged for their role in an international work visa fraud scheme uncovered in Jammu.
A chargesheet has been filed against five persons in connection with an international work visa fraud racket that was uncovered in Jammu, according to a report by Kashmir Life. The legal document details the alleged involvement of the accused in facilitating fraudulent visa applications for overseas employment.
Investigators say the scheme targeted Indian job seekers by promising legitimate work visas abroad, while collecting fees and falsifying documents. The operation reportedly spanned multiple states, but the primary arrests were made in Jammu after a coordinated police probe.
The accused have been presented before the local court and are now facing charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Foreign Exchange Management Act. Police officials indicated that the case is still under investigation, and further arrests may follow as the inquiry progresses.
