Gurugram, June 19

The police have arrested a Kenyan national for visa fraud. The accused, identified as Barack Omondi Ukku, had fraudulently converted his student visa into e-visa to secure a job in a local BPO.

He was produced in a local court, which sent him to two-day police remand.

According to information, the accused had been working in a BPO located in Udyog Vihar since December 2019. A complaint against him was lodged by BPO owner and Delhi resident Ashwini Kumar. He alleged that Barack Omondi Ukku had come to India on a student visa, but he fraudulently converted it into e-visa to get a job at their BPO.

An FIR has been registered against him under Section 420 (cheating) of the IPC and the Foreigners Act. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
