Our group decided to enroll for it as we had already worked at the airport and were experienced. My group of 10 people contacted Sajid and Parvez. We handed over our passports to them to get the visa. After a few days, they gave us our medical reports, however, when we cross-checked, they were found to be fake. When we questioned him about this, he took us into confidence and said that he has sent many people abroad and will send us too.
In February, most of the complainants got their visas, however, when they were verified, they were also found to be bogus. Initially the accused were in touch with the victims but in March the accused told them that they would not return their passports. “We visited his office in Shahberi, but it was closed. We request the police to help us get our money and passport from their possession.” SalmanHe is a resident of Barabanki.
