Fake visa racket busted in Kolkata, 1 arrested

A fake visa racket was busted and a woman was arrested from Kolkata's Metiabruz area, police said on Monday.

The woman, in her early 30s, was arrested from her residence on Sunday night after a complaint was lodged by two persons from Lucknow, they said.

Police had earlier arrested two persons in connection with the case, they added.

The racket was collecting money from youths, promising them jobs at restaurants in the US, police said.

''They used to take passports from people, and then prepared fake visas. This woman was recruited by the racket recently and she was working from home, manufacturing the visas,'' a police officer said. Police said they have seized documents, computers, printers and other materials.
