Meerut: UP police have arrested a 26-year-old cab driver for forging his 22-year-old brother’s documents to get a fake passport and then secure a study visa for Singapore. He was arrested after the younger sibling filed an FIR.
SP (rural) in Saharanpur Sagar Jain said, “The accused, Sachin Rana, a resident of village Mirzapur under Badgaon police station, was desperate to study abroad but he was not able to secure a visa due to academic gap years (he passed class 12 in 2013).
So, he got a fake passport issued, secured a study visa using his brother Gautam’s credentials in April 2022 and left for Singapore in June 2022.”
According to SHO Vishal Srivastava, “Investigations revealed that Sachin had contacted an overseas education consultant in early 2022 who, on the basis of Gautam’s forged documents, secured admission for him in Trent Global College of Technology and Management in Singapore.”
