Choudhary allegedly deceived job seekers by charging large sums for fake working visas abroad, with reported losses reaching Rs 90 lakhs. Investigations are ongoing to find other accomplices.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police's Special Crime Branch conducted a significant search operation on Saturday, targeting the residence of Kartik Choudhary. Choudhary is accused of orchestrating a visa scam that has defrauded numerous job seekers under the guise of providing overseas work opportunities.
