Two youngsters from Warangal district were arrested by Chanakyapuri police last Tuesday in New Delhi for producing fake documents with the intent to cheat the US Embassy.
The accused 26-year-old Sai Chandu Reddy Padi and 22-year-old Maneesh Deva, residents of Warangal district – had applied for non-immigrant student visas at the US Embassy in New Delhi on April 5.
Sai Chandu provided documents such as passport as proof of identity. He submitted visa application where he claimed that he had done a course on “Machine Learning with Python” from Softech Computers, situated in Warangal. He also submitted a certificate of merit to substantiate his claim.
Sai Chandu claimed that he had secured a loan of Rs 30 lakhs and submitted a bank balance proof by the Andhra Pradesh Grammena Vikas Bank.
Similarly, Maneesh Deva submitted an employment certificate, letter of appointment and pay slips in the same of Softech Computers, Warangal along with his passport, and bank balance proof.
However, during the visa interview, it was found that neither of them attended any course or had any work experience as claimed. It was found that the young men, with the help of agents had submitted fake educational and work experience along with bank documents.
Both of them admitted that they were helped by Madhumita Dande who is the director of Softech Computers. While Sai Chandu paid Rs 4,000 to her, Maneesh paid Rs 5,000/- as fees. Both the men were referred to Madhumita by an agent named Ganesh.
A case of cheating and forgery has been registered against them.
