The investigation of the biggest immigration racket in Chandigarh has revealed the fraudulent methods of these dubious firms and the police have decided to inform the embassies of different countries in New Delhi, about the modus operandi of the unscrupulous immigration firms.
Modus operandi
The police officers investigating the case said that modus operandi of Healthyway Immigration was to issue fake loan documents taking advantage of the fact that some embassy officials were not cross checking the documents submitted by the firm.
Ashish Kapoor, deputy superintendent of police, who is investigating the matter, said the racket came to light when officials from many embassies and High Commissions, including that of Canada and Britain contacted the local police to inform that most of the documents submitted by the firm were found to be fake.
The owner of Healthyway Immigration, Amit Kakkar, who has been charged of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy, is behind bars. The investigation so far has revealed that most of the loan documents were shown to be issued by the Patiala Road branch of Oriental Bank of Commerce, Rajpura, which is around 40 kilometres away from Chandigarh.
The police are also investigating the role of some bank officials in the issuance of such a large number of fake loan letters. Fake bank documents, issued by nationalised banks from Haryana, Himachal and Punjab have also been found during the investigation.
Large scale immigration racket
Healthyway has 42 branches out of which 29 are in Punjab and the police have said that a thorough investigation is needed to unearth the whole racket.
Amit Kakkar’s firm is believed to have duped hundreds of youth aspiring to go abroad, after charging a fee up to two lakh from them.
A police officer investigating the scam said that the embassies did not cross check the veracity of loan letters and also never checked if the money remained in the applicants account after the loan letter was issued or not.
