Delhi Police reported that a 2025 enforcement drive into visa and passport fraud resulted in more than 130 arrests of agents and facilitators, with over 100 bank accounts frozen and asset-attachment proceedings begun. Officials said financial forensics were key to tracing proceeds and unmasking organised facilitators who forged travel documents and laundered receipts.

Delhi Police described a large-scale investigative and enforcement campaign targeting organised facilitators of visa and passport fraud during 2025. The operation focused on networks that produced forged travel documents, coordinated couriering and pickup of papers, and operated as intermediaries arranging sham travel services while collecting fees through bank transfers. Investigators used transaction analysis and mutual legal assistance to freeze more than 100 accounts and initiate asset attachment in cases linked to the ring; over 130 suspects, including agents, document suppliers and account holders, were arrested. Officials emphasized the use of financial forensics to follow the money trail from victims and to build cases against higher-level coordinators. The crackdown aims to disrupt commercialised document-fraud ecosystems and reduce attendant money‑laundering, and authorities signalled continuing investigations and cooperation with foreign partners to address cross-border elements of the schemes.
