# Visa fraud cases surface in Vijayawada and Ahmedabad 2026-10-06T23:21:37+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Eight persons in Vijayawada have approached the police commissioner alleging they were duped of Rs 50 lakh by a placement officer from a Chennai-based hotel management institute who promised visas and overseas jobs but instead transferred the money to three Chennai-based individuals and kept their original passports. Separately, the CID (Crime) in Ahmedabad registered a cheating case against five named accused and others for allegedly defrauding a 52-year-old businessman from Chiloda of Rs 80 lakh on the promise of US business visas for his son and daughter-in-law. The complainant said he deposited Rs 55 lakh and Rs 25 lakh through an angadia firm in November 2023 after receiving fake US e-visa PDFs. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The two outlets report unrelated visa fraud cases in different cities, both in straight news style without editorial slant. Deccan Chronicle focuses on the police complaint and the role of a placement officer, while Times of India details the angadia transfer method and the fake e-visa PDFs. Neither outlet includes comment from the accused or from law enforcement beyond the complaint itself. The uniform neutral reporting means the coverage is purely factual. The next step in both cases is the police inquiry or investigation that the complainants have requested. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - deccanchronicle.com (neutral report) Straight police complaint report, no comment from accused - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight FIR-based report, no official comment sought This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
