The Sahar police investigating a human trafficking racket arrested a Gujarat-based agent on Monday for forging Indian passports. He allegedly charged Rs 50 lakh to Rs 60 lakh for each fake passport. Patel was responsible for sending 53 people to the US and Canada between 2015 and 2017, said the police, who busted the human trafficking racket in May this year by arresting 19 members of the gang. Three immigration officials, identified as Rajesh Godse, Pravin Avsarmane and Sanjay Thorat, were also part of the racket. The case first came to light on May 8, after Komal Dabgar, 23, was deported from Canada when immigration officials at Vancover discovered that she had a forged passport.
