Nitin Nazara, who was previously engaged in a case of drugging, rape, unlawful confinement, and cheating that was recorded at the RK Puram police station in 2019, was named by DCP Sharma as the apprehended racket’s mastermind. She claimed he was taken into custody on September 13 in west Delhi’s Tagore Garden neighbourhood.
The results of Nazara’s interrogation showed that he had been operating the ring alongside Manjeet, also known as Babbu, and Vijay Kumar. They created fake travel passports and ran their scheme out of an office at Majlis Park in Azadpur, according to the DCP.
According to police, their response followed an investigation into a case of fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy that had been reported by one Gunoor Singh at the IGI Airport in 2021. The complainant claimed that someone named Amit Gaur had approached him over social media and requested his recommendation for applicants seeking tourist or student visas to Australia. Singh was informed by Gaur that he had contacts with agents working both domestically and internationally.
