In a joint operation by the Kolkata Police and the Delhi Police, a man has been arrested from Haridevpur area in Kolkata for his alleged involvement in a fake-visa racket, an officer said on Saturday.
Delhi's Chanakyapuri Police Station had recently received a complaint from a man that he has given a visa for Russia which was later declared 'fake' by that country's Embassy.
Acting on this complaint, the Delhi Police arrested a man from North 24 Parganas district a few days ago, the official said.
During his interrogation, they came to know about another person considered to be the mastermind behind the fake-visa racket, he said.
Along with officials of the Kolkata Police, the Delhi Police team conducted a raid late on Friday night and arrested the mastermind.
Several documents, 80 passports of different nations, holograms and three printers have been seized from him, the official said.
