Upon verification of the UK visa, the immigration officials suspected that something was amiss and mailed the details to the UK border agency and the British high commission for confirmation. The report received from these two agencies confirmed that no visa was issued to Pradeep Singh, nor had he submitted any document.
The probe revealed that Pradeep Singh had approached a local tout in Jalandhar, identified as Pappu, to get the work visa. Pappu reportedly forged the document and inserted the fake visa in the passport after receiving money from Pradeep Singh.
Based on a complaint filed by Vijayentha Singh, immigration officer, Airport police registered a case against Pradeep Singh charging him for forgery.
