Delhi Police busted a gang of three persons who cheated people on the pretext of sending them abroad for jobs, in Krishna Nagar area of East Delhi. 

The three accused persons have been identified as Aas Mohd (35), Mohd Altaf (32) and Ayub (52). Police have recovered 75 fake visas, 5 original passports, 37 medical certificates and 4 mobile phones.

Police said on December 28, complainant Jeeshan Beg a resident of Mumbai, approached the police that since he was unemployed, one of his friends advised him to get in touch with a person named Aas Mohd in Delhi who helped people get jobs in gulf countries. Jeeshan went to Mohd’s office in East Azad Nagar in Delhi and was asked to deposit his passport and other important documents. 

He was also asked to deposit Rs 6,000 cash as processing fee and was further asked to deposit Rs 30,000 in order to obtain visa. Jeeshan was told that he will get his visa after one month and thereafter deposited Rs 19,000 as advance money after which he went back to Mumbai.
