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.
Police said the raid was conducted following a complaint filed by a Haryana-based youth who did not get his work permit and visa after paying them money.
