An immigration agent was arrested by the police in Gujarat’s Sabarkantha district after nine persons, including two women, went untraceable during their journey from India to the United States via Caribbean countries.
The suspected immigration scam came to light after a woman approached the Prantij police in Sabarkantha district with a complaint that her husband, Bharat Rabari, went incommunicado in February, almost a month after he was sent to the US via the Netherlands and the Caribbean region by agent Divyesh aka Johny Patel, a resident of Mehsana, who has been arrested.
Later, it was revealed that eight more persons, sent to the US by Johny Patel, were also missing and efforts were on to trace all nine.
