Acting on a tip off, the city police raided on the fake visa racket and arrested a 52-year-old man here in Hyderabad on Sunday. Named M Nagabhushanam, this person was a travel agent and allegedly prepared fake visas to Oman and Dubai.  The police said that the accused was running a travel agency under the name Hasnin Tours and Travels at Taj Complex in Nampally.

Hailing from East Godavari, Nagabhushanam allegedly used to send at least 25 persons to Dubai and Oman every month by forging the documents. The task force police recovered 24 passports, forged visa documents and declaration documents from Nagabhushanam. The police also said that the accused used to prepare forged documents with the help of photo shop software. Before setting up his own travel agency, Nagabhushanam worked in some air-ticketing consultancies.
