Canada deportation scam: Travel agent Brijesh Mishra nabbed at Delhi airport, remanded in 7-day police custody
Travel agent Brijesh Mishra, who allegedly defrauded over 200 students by sending them to Canada based on fake offer letters from colleges, was presented at the Jalandhar Court on Wednesday, a day after he was nabbed at the Delhi airport. Mishra himself had migrated to Canada, where he had been detained since June 2023. On Tuesday, when he returned to India after being released by Canadian authorities, Mishra was taken into custody as the Jalandhar police had issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) against him. Speaking to The Indian Express, Harinder Singh Gill, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jalandhar, said, 'We brought him to Jalandhar and took his seven-day remand. We had registered nine cases against him at the Model Town police station. Now, we will investigate each and every case registered against him and also take the information from the Canadian authorities. He was in a detention centre in Canada for about 19 months.' According to the police, Mishra issued fake offer letters to over 200 students while running his consultancy firm in Jalandhar between 2016 and 2020. Mishra used to charge nearly Rs 16 lakh from each student for visa-related services and college admissions. When the students arrived in Canada, Mishra would inform them that no seats were available at the college that had supposedly issued the offer letter. He would then advise them either to take admission in another college or wait for the next session. In some cases, he even refunded the college fees to the students, but this was not common. March 15, 2023: News breaks that nearly 700 Indian students in Canada are facing deportation over fake college admission letters. March 17, 2023: The Indian Express reveals that Brijesh Mishra had been previously arrested in 2013 for document forgery linked to foreign student placements. A case is registered against him and his associates, Gurnam Singh and Rahul Bhargava, by the Jalandhar police. March 18, 2023: Affected students begin symbolic weekend protests in Canada, escalating into a continuous sit-in by late May. March 19, 2023: A Punjab student is blacklisted for five years by Canadian authorities due to a fake letter from Mishra's firm. MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney meets External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, urging intervention and offering legal aid to the victims. March 21, 2023: Mishra's consultancy licence is officially revoked. March 23, 2023: Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Singh Seechewal also appeals to the MEA for assistance in halting deportations. April 24, 2023: Edmonton-based Karamjeet Kaur receives a removal order from Canadian authorities. May 27, 2023: Kaur's removal is deferred – the first such case of relief. May 29, 2023: Students begin a permanent sit-in protest outside the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) office in Ontario. On the same day, the Canadian Immigration Minister confirms an active investigation into the fraud. June 8, 2023: EAM Jaishankar confirms Indian diplomatic missions will support the affected students. June 10, 2023: Lovepreet Singh, another student set for deportation, gets a temporary stay on his removal order. June 15, 2023: Canadian immigration minister announces that a dedicated task force will offer Temporary Resident Permits to genuine students not involved in fraud. They will not face deportation or re-entry bans. June 16, 2023: After 18 days of protest, students temporarily pause the dharna while awaiting official decisions. June 23, 2023: Mishra is intercepted at a British Columbia airport by CBSA, and then he was jailed in May 2024. June 24, 2025: Mishra is arrested at Delhi airport and handed over to Jalandhar police.

CBI arrests nine in nationwide crackdown on cyber fraud involving 8.5 lakh mule accounts
In a major crackdown on cyber-enabled financial crimes, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested nine individuals following searches linked to the operation of approximately 8.5 lakh mule accounts in over 700 branches of various banks across the country. These accounts were allegedly being used to perpetrate cyber frauds, including the so-called 'digital arrest' scams. The action was undertaken as part of Operation Chakra-V, a multi-pronged initiative launched to tackle rising incidents of cybercrime. Based on specific inputs, the CBI conducted coordinated searches at 42 locations across Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. According to the agency, the mule bank accounts were being operated by organised cybercriminal networks engaging in impersonation, fraudulent advertisements, investment frauds, and UPI-based scams. 'These cyber fraudsters are being helped by the commissions and omissions of certain bank officials, agents, aggregators, bank correspondents, middlemen and e-Mitras who are facilitating in opening of the mule accounts used for receiving and transferring proceeds of cyber frauds as well as enabling withdrawals from such accounts,' the agency said in a statement on Thursday. Also Read | CBI arrests five persons for allegedly selling SIM cards in violation of KYC rules The CBI initially instituted a preliminary enquiry to uncover the broader conspiracy involved in the creation of these mule accounts, the complicity of banking personnel and intermediaries, and to assess the adherence to existing regulatory norms. The investigation revealed that over 8.50 lakh such accounts had been opened across more than 700 bank branches without adherence to prescribed Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, customer due diligence, or initial risk assessment protocols. 'The branch managers of the banks have also failed to conduct Enhanced Due Diligence in respect of certain suspicious transaction alerts generated by the systems. Some of the banks have also failed to send the acknowledgment/ thanking letters to customers to indirectly verify the addresses of the account holders,' the agency noted. The agency further alleged that these actions violated the Reserve Bank of India's Master Circular and internal banking guidelines. 'Accordingly, a First Information Report has been registered for offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, use of forged documents as genuine… and also offence of criminal misconduct by bank officials under the Prevention of Corruption Act,' the CBI said. During the searches, the CBI seized incriminating documents, mobile phones, digital evidence, bank account opening forms, transaction records, and KYC documents. The nine individuals arrested include middlemen, agents, account holders, and bank correspondents allegedly involved in facilitating the opening and operation of these mule accounts. Earlier this month, the agency had searched 10 locations across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, arresting a person in Mumbai accused of supplying pre-activated SIM cards and mule bank accounts to cybercriminal syndicates. In a related development last month, the agency arrested 11 alleged cybercriminals in two cases. In the first, six individuals were arrested for allegedly defrauding Japanese citizens, following searches at 19 locations in Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. In the second, searches were carried out at 42 locations across Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, leading to the arrest of five persons for allegedly selling unauthorised SIM cards being used for various forms of cyber fraud.

Gujarat Congress Vice President Hira Jotva grilled by police over Rs 7.3 crore MNREGA scam
AHMEDABAD: An assistant project manager has flagged a shocking MNREGA scam worth Rs 7.3 crore across villages in Gujarat's Bharuch district, Amod, Jambusar, and Hansot Taluka. Acting on the complaint, Bharuch police have now summoned Congress leader Hira Jotva from Gir Somnath for questioning. Sources indicate that police may move toward arresting him following the interrogation. The Rs 7.30 crore fraud, spanning 430 development works across 56 villages in Amod, Jambusar, and Hansot talukas, was first flagged on May 30 by a government official from the Gram Vikas Agency, who filed a formal complaint at Bharuch's A Division Police Station. The investigation zeroed in on two Veraval-based firms — Shri Jalaram Enterprise and Muralidhar Enterprise — contracted for supplying material under MNREGA projects. These agencies allegedly manipulated records, provided substandard material, and bypassed mandatory manual labour by using machines, thereby violating the core principles of the rural employment scheme and causing massive losses to the state exchequer. Police identified Piyush Nukani, owner of Shri Jalaram Enterprise, and Jodhabhai Sabhad, owner of Muralidhar Enterprise, as key players in the racket.
