People who had applied for immigration through Healthyway have come under the scanner of Chandigarh police. The cops are verifying whether the passports and other documents submitted by them are genuine.
The Chandigarh police, during investigations, seized a large number of documents, including passports, travel documents, income tax returns and educational certificates from different branches of Healthyway Consultants.
A senior police officer said they were in the process of verifying the authenticity of these documents. He said they became suspicious after the large-scale forgery of financial documents came to light. SSP Naunihal Singh said that in case of an emergency, aspirants could move an application for the return of documents.
The applicants could prove the genuineness of the papers and take them away, he added. Another officer said it would also decide whether an aspirant would appear as a prosecution witness in case he was found innocent or as an accused if he was found guilty of forgery. If a document was found fake or forged, it would not be returned, he added. Some of these documents were seized from the branches of Healthyway agency while others were seized from individuals who had applied for immigration through the consultancy.
A few aggrieved insisted that as a result, their plans of travelling abroad were not only being delayed but in some cases were likely to be cancelled.
Rubaljeet Kaur said the police had seized her passport from the consultant's office. She said, “As of now, I have no idea when the documents will be returned.“ Her visa to the UK was also rejected. Another aspirant, Kulwant Singh from Khanna, said, “It has been double trouble for us. To begin with, the immigration agency has left us in the lurch, and now the delay in getting documents is causing further hardships for us.“
Mandeep Singh from Sangrur said the police should examine the documents on priority and return the genuine papers. NEW PROBE OFFICER The Healthway immigration scam will have a new investigating officer. In the absence of DSP Ashish Kapoor, who is going to the US for participating in the World Police and Fire Games, CID DSP Anil Joshi will investigate the case.
Meanwhile, judicial magistrate Hemraj Mittal on Friday extended the police remand of immigration consultant Amit Kakkar till August 20. The police on Friday received three more complaints against the immigration firm. The police also sealed another branch of the firm in Sector 44.
