NEW DELHI: A fake visa racket has been busted with the arrest of three youths, including a Nigerian and a woman. They allegedly used to cheat people by promising them jobs in Canada, America and European countries. Agu Rufus Ikechukwa (28), Gautam Kumar (26) and Riya Rosy Chettri (22) used to charge Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh as fees. The arrests came following investigations into a complaint filed by R Suresh and his friends from Chennai and Canadian High Commission. Suresh along with nine others applied for a job through internet in a Toronto-based company in April 2010 and they received the employment contract letter from executive director of the company.

Later on behalf of the company, one Thomas contacted them and asked them to apply for visa through his contact, Neil Narcis, in Delhi. For this, they paid Rs 15 lakh to Narcis and another Rs 2.35 lakh to Riya alias Roshni. "She handed over two passports with Canadian visa. The remaining passports were to be handed over after 4-5 days following full payment. Thereafter, the gang stopped responding on phone. Suspicious, Suresh along with his friends made enquiries in the Canadian High Commission and found that the visa was fake,'' said DCP (south) HGS Dhaliwal.

Gautam and Riya had worked in a call centre and are good in communication skills. Gautam, while working in a call centre in Guragon, came in contact with one Tanuja who was already into fake visa racket.

I have read the link and Shibuya's comments and I am yet to find the connection of Agu Rufus Ikechukwa to the fake visa saga. What part did he play and how did he play it? Just curious! I hope this is not a way of maligning Nigeria's image?
