Mumbai was rocked by a case of fraud on September 25, when Jenil Kankotia from Surat, Gujarat was arrested at the Sahar Police Station for possession of a fraudulent UK student visa. Kankotia had intended to travel to London through Istanbul, and presented a passport, visa, and boarding pass at the immigration counter.
His visa indicated that he had obtained a Master of Business Management degree from Savitribai Phule University of Pune, and he presented a mark sheet and certificate to prove it. However, the immigration officer noticed a misspelling on the certificate, arousing suspicion about the authenticity of his qualifications.
After further investigation, it was revealed that Kankotia had only completed education up to first-year B.Com. He had obtained a fake certificate from an agent for Rs. 90,000, with the intention of going to the UK for employment.
An immigration officer filed a case against him under sections 420, 465, 468, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The Charkop Police then bust a gang operating a fake document center, leading to the arrest of two individuals.
Mumbai is a bustling city, but this incident serves as a reminder of the prevalence of fraud and the importance of being vigilant in order to protect oneself. The police department is taking all necessary steps to investigate and prosecute the fraudsters involved.
