Seized Tampered VISAS (14 Nos), Passports (14 Nos), Copies of the Flight tickets up and
down from RGI Airport to Muscat (16 nos) besides seven mobile phones, one laptop and stamps from the accused.
They used two types of documentation to mislead authorities.
In one type, passports contained a “CANCELLED” stamp on a work VISA, supported by tourist VISAs and round-trip tickets to be shown at departure.
In the second type, the “CANCELLED” stamp was removed, and documents included original work VISAs, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), and boarding passes to be shown at the arrival immigration in Gulf countries.
As per emigration rules, ECNR passport holders could travel for work without POE clearance if they had original work VISAs and PCCs.
ECR passport holders, however, required POE, job contracts, insurance, and original work VISAs. Ignoring these requirements, the accused sent individuals on tourist VISAs, destroyed those documents mid-journey, and presented fake work-related documents upon arrival. UNI KNR SSP
