Mumbai: A court here on Tuesday sent two Navy officers and another person to 14-day judicial custody in an alleged visa fraud case.
Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested Navy officers Lieutenant Commander Vipin Dagar and Sub Lieutenant Brahm Jyoti along with Simran Teji, Ravi Kumar and Deepak Mehra in this case.
Teji and Kumar are already in judicial custody.
Dagar, Jyoti and Mehra were produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (Esplanade Court) Vinod Patil after their remand ended on Tuesday. The police did not press for their further custody and the accused were remanded to judicial custody by the court.
The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has busted a gang that allegedly used fraudulent means to obtain visas for people looking for work in South Korea.
It managed to send at least eight people to the East Asian country in the last one year, but two of them were sent back to India.
Police investigation also found that several people from Suchetgarh in Ranbir Singh Pora tehsil of Jammu district traveled to South Korea using similar means (with the help of various syndicates) over the past few years.
Police have alleged that Brahma Jyoti was allegedly the mastermind of the racket.
While Jyoti and Mehra are school classmates, Jyoti and Dagar have known each other for years.
Pune-based Teji, who taught German, came in contact with Jyoti through a dating app and joined the racket. His bank accounts were used to receive money from people sent to South Korea.
