The Story in Brief
The Special Crime Wing of Jammu’s Crime Branch has registered an FIR in an overseas visa and employment fraud case. The case follows a complaint by several residents of Doda district, who allege that Bilal Ahmad, a Kishtwar native now based in Dubai, promised them jobs and visas in Dubai. The complainants transferred large sums of money to bank accounts of individuals named Yasir Arfat, Ashiq Hussain, and Moin Khan, who allegedly acted with the main accused.
The SCW said the evidence points to a well-planned criminal conspiracy. The investigation will focus on tracing the money trail and identifying each accused’s role. The public has been advised to verify credentials of agencies offering overseas jobs through official channels and report suspicious activity.
The Indian Opinion
Visa and job frauds targeting gullible job seekers are a recurring menace, but the narrative often shifts blame entirely onto the victims for not verifying credentials. The real onus is on agencies like the Crime Branch to swiftly trace the money trail and prosecute all accused, including those abroad. The test of this probe will be whether it leads to actual arrests and recovery of the lakhs of rupees the complainants paid.
