Fake visa and passport racket busted in Delhi
2007-02-25
NEW DELHI — Delhi Police yesterday busted a racket dealing in fake passports and Pakistani visas and arrested a couple. The accused, Afaq Hussain, 45, and his wife Rukhsana, 43, were arrested from the Indralok area of north Delhi, for helping people illegally migrate to Pakistan on forged visas, police said.
Migrate to Pakistan? Isn't that like migrating to Yemen?
Describing the couple's modus operandi, police said they used to procure genuine passports of people who had already been to Pakistan. They used to lure innocent people wishing to go to Pakistan and take their passports for getting them the visa.

#3  Yes but they would also want to know who they are, with a false passport/visa there's no record.

#2  I would imagine that India would want to encourage this.. anyone who longs for Pakistan is certainly not your ideal citizen

#1  So did the victims desire to emigrate, or merely to visit long-missed cousins? Even with the rise in Muslim insularity in India, there can't be that many starry-eyed idealists who'd rather live purely in the land of the pure.
