Noida, October 1 (Daily Kiran) : The Noida Police have dismantled a gang involved in defrauding individuals by promising them work visas for Canada. On October 1, 2026, officers from the Phase-1 police station arrested three suspects: Rahul Kumar Chauhan, 31, Sandeep Singh, 44, and Pooja Mahajan, 43.
Authorities recovered seven mobile phones, a Thar SUV, and five passports from the suspects. The arrests were made based on manual intelligence and electronic surveillance.
The police reported that the suspects were operating an education consultancy in Sector 2, Noida, which claimed to assist people in going abroad. Investigations revealed that two individuals, operating under the names Armaan and Kristen Jennifer, contacted the consultancy via Google, offering to secure Canadian work visas.
Kristen Jennifer, posing as a foreign woman, reached out to the consultancy, providing information about five clients along with their passports. Each client was charged ₹25,000 for paperwork, biometrics, and medical examinations, with assurances that their temporary residence visas would be processed quickly.
However, the gang later demanded an additional ₹12.5 lakh from each client to further advance the visa application process. Investigations revealed that Kristen Jennifer’s real identity is Pooja Mahajan, while Armaan is actually Sandeep Singh.
Sandeep Singh, also known as Armaan, had displayed a virtual phone number from Canada using the “My Second Line” app, misleading victims into believing he was residing in Canada. The police have seized the mobile device used for this purpose.
A case has been registered against the accused at the Phase-1 police station. Authorities are now expanding their investigation to identify other members of the gang and uncover additional fraud cases related to overseas employment schemes.
The police are actively working to determine how many individuals may have fallen victim to this scheme and the total amount of money collected by the suspects.
