13 January, Chennai

The UK Government has unearthed a wide scale fraud with the arrest of three travel agents from Bengaluru for producing fake documents and supplying counterfeit immigration stamps to support their customer’s vis applications.

A release from the office of the British Deputy High Commission here today said ”three travel agents from Bangalore are now under investigation, by the Central Crime Branch, after the UK Government uncovered wide scale fraud.”

”The agents were producing fake documents and supplying counterfeit immigration stamps to support their customers visa applications to countries including the UK”, it said.

The scam was uncovered after eight applicants applied for UK visas using passports containing fake immigration stamps.

The agents advised the applicants to get the stamps to show that they were all well travelled and to hide the fact that they had all broken the rules of their previous UK visas
