The Mumbai authorities arrested a teacher who was involved in a UK human trafficking attempt, as the accused had tried to take a flight with forged documents and misleading information. The arrest at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport uncovered a suspected visa scam operation.
Authorities disclosed that the accused had provided false information to acquire traveling permits, while there were allegations of large-scale human trafficking networks making use of the visa system. Security officers got suspicious when irregularities emerged from immigration screening, triggering further investigation.
The case highlights increasing fears of illegal migration rackets preying on vulnerable people in search of improved prospects overseas. The authorities have stepped up efforts to curb forgery and document fraud, making sure that airports are on high alert for such operations.
The suspect is now in police custody, charged with offenses involving forgery, misrepresentation, and attempts at human trafficking. Investigations are continuing to identify possible accomplices and broader network links.
