New Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has deferred the hearing on the high-profile Chinese visa scam case to February 4, 2025. The case, which involves allegations of fraudulent visa issuance to Chinese nationals, continues to draw significant attention from law enforcement and the public alike.
The scam allegedly operated through a network of agents who promised expedited visas in exchange for hefty payments. Investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have uncovered a web of corruption involving immigration officials and travel agencies. Key accused individuals were presented before the court today, but procedural matters led to the postponement.
Court sources indicate that the delay stems from pending applications for bail and the need for additional documents from the prosecution. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the matter, assuring all parties that justice would be served without undue haste.
This development comes amid heightened scrutiny on visa irregularities post the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has cracked down on such rackets, with multiple arrests across cities. Experts believe this case could set precedents for handling similar frauds in the future.
As the next hearing approaches, stakeholders are preparing comprehensive arguments. The outcome could impact diplomatic relations and India’s visa processing protocols. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
