Two persons were arrested here today for duping unemployed youths of money on the pretext of offering them jobs abroad, police said.
Gurmit and Davinder Singh were allegedly running their office from Amritsar. 157 original passports and fake work permits for various countries were recovered during a raid, Police Commissioner Amar Singh Chahal said.
Fake work permits of England, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway and Canada, besides other countries were found. The accused were charging Rs 70, 000 for the work permits, he said.
