The Sahar police are currently searching for Abraham Qureshi, a United Kingdom (UK) resident, believed to be the mastermind behind a scheme involving forged documents to transport Indians to the UK. Charging Rs 25 lakh per person, Qureshi's illegal operation was uncovered when eight people were apprehended by the immigration department at Mumbai International Airport on Wednesday while attempting to travel to the UK using counterfeit documents.

During the arrests, the police confiscated various forged documents, including Continuous Discharge Certificates (CDC), fake e-migrant letters, fabricated ship joining letters, boarding passes, and passports. Investigations revealed that Qureshi orchestrated the creation of fake job joining letters for the merchant navy by tracking ships and cruises arriving at UK docks. Additionally, it was discovered that Qureshi had facilitated the settlement of numerous Indians in the UK and assisted them in obtaining UK citizenship after their arrival. The individuals caught at Mumbai International Airport were identified as Dilwar Singh, Subham Soam Naipal Singh, Mandeep Singh, Kaishdeep Singh, Sushil Pal, Jaswinder Paul, Kushalpreet Singh, and Kuljeet Singh.
