Mumbai: Authorities arrested a 23-year-old man from Gujarat and a visa agent for allegedly submitting a fake employment letter in a US visa application process. The accused, Harshkumar Bharatsinh Thakor and Vinay Pathak, were apprehended following a complaint from the US Consulate. Both were taken before the Bandra court and released on bail.
The incident came to light when officials at the US Consulate discovered the forgery during Thakor's visa interview on September 23, around 8:40 am. Thakor had claimed employment at Teekay Shipping India Pvt Ltd, a claim later proven false by the company. The US Consulate contacted the company, which confirmed Thakor had never worked for them.
Thakor's uncle is being sought in connection with the case. The forged letter allegedly originated from Pathak, who reportedly charged Thakor ₹5 lakh for the deception.
