Gujarat police conducted joint raids on 17 immigration consultancy firms in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Vadodara, seizing 27 passports, 53 computers, and various documents. Acting on complaints of visa fraud, the raids exposed fake mark sheets and tampered test scores used to obtain visas for the USA, Canada, and Australia. Complaints alleged that individuals, despite paying hefty fees, faced deportation from foreign airports. Authorities, including over 50 police personnel and computer experts, executed the raids, also uncovering ₹5.5 lakh cash and liquor bottles, violating Gujarat's strict prohibition policy. Forensic examination will determine the authenticity of seized items.
