Hyderabad: The Commissioner’s Task Force, South Zone Team, along with Shalibanda Police, apprehended three persons for indulging in preparation of fake visas and cheating unemployed youth by collecting huge sums of money on the pretext of providing them jobs in Dubai. The police also seized 10 fake visas in all and computer equipment and some cell phones.
The accused were identified as Mohd Muzammil (28) of Moinbagh in Riyasat Nagar; Mohd Ahmed (23) of Qazipura in Shalibanda and Mohd Abdul Azam (28) of Nawab Saheb Kunta.
Police said Mohd Muzammil cheated 10 youths in March this year on the pretext of securing jobs for them in Dubai by saying that he was having good contacts with main visa processing agents Ahmed and Azam and collected Rs 65,000 to Rs 75,000 from each, totalling Rs 6,55,000, as visa processing and air ticket charges and informed them that he would provide visas within a week. After collecting money, the accused were dodging them on various pretexts.
On repeated demands, the prime accused, Mohd Ahmed, gave three visas to Harun Khan, Khaleel Pasha and Mohd Arfath and sent them to Sharjah informing them that their agents in Sharjah would meet and provide them jobs within two days. But even after the lapse of one month, the youths did not get jobs in Sharjah.
They then realised that they were cheated by the accused and returned to Hyderabad on September 28.
Mohd Ahmed also gave another set of seven fake visas to the remaining victims and made them believe as genuine visas. On suspicion, the victims enquired and found the visas to be fake. It was revealed that Ahmed and Azam were involved in similar cheating cases under Punjagutta and Falaknuma police stations also.
The arrests were made under the supervision of Commissioner’s Task Force Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police N Koti Reddy, by Police Inspector A Yadagiri, SIs SK Jakeer Hussain, B Madhusudan, G Mallesh and N Srishylam and the staff of South Zone Task Force, Hyderabad.
