From US court to Canadian border in 24 hours: Gujarat man in $7.5M fraud case caught before Doha flight
Jay Sunilbharthi Goswami, a 21-year-old Indian citizen from Gujarat, was arrested at Toronto Pearson International Airport on August 20 after allegedly evading authorities in Canada. Goswami, who was living in Jersey City, New Jersey, was accused in a $7.5 million fraud targeting elderly victims across the United States. The criminal complaint alleges that Goswami was part of an elaborate Internet and telephone-based fraud scheme, impersonating law enforcement officials to convince victims to hand over their assets.
Between August 1, 2025, and April 6, 2026, Goswami deposited over $90,000 in cash into a Bank of America account, consistent with his role as a money mule in the fraudulent scheme. Canadian authorities took Goswami into custody at Toronto Pearson International Airport on immigration violations after a US request for his provisional arrest pending extradition.
