Mumbai Police Arrest Two for Submitting Forged Employment Letter in US Visa Case
Mumbai police arrested Harshkumar Thakor, a 23-year-old from Gujarat, and visa agent Vinay Pathak for submitting a forged employment letter during a US visa application. The fraud was detected during Thakor's visa interview at the US Consulate in BKC, which verified the letter with the shipping company that denied issuing it. Police found WhatsApp exchanges between the accused and are searching for Thakor's uncle, who allegedly introduced him to Pathak. Both were released on bail pending further investigation.
