Visakhapatnam: At least five to six tourist visa holders are deported to Hyderabad from Malaysia every day. They are identified as ‘fake tourists’ who travelled to Kuala Lumpur for work without valid documents. Visa racketeers operating in Hyderabad and other cities in India are sending several unskilled workers to Malaysia in the name of jobs on visit visa. Official sources at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport said at least 700 have been deported from Malaysia so far in 2018.
These workers with fake visas are caught during profiling at Kuala Lumpur International Airport by immigration officials and are sent back. Apart from Karimnagar and Nizamabad districts in Telagnana, people from Kadapa and Godavari districts in AP and from other states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar also board the flights to Malaysia from Hyderabad.
According NRI rights activist M Bheem Reddy most of them work as construction labourers and masons.
Sources at RGIA said, “Most of the agents are operating out of Hyderabad and Chennai. Each person who wants a visit visa and air tickets have to pay Rs 1.5 lakh to the agent. Those who are already working in Malaysia are also turning into agents and trafficking workers. Usually during questioning by immigration officials, those who travel for work on tourist visa fumble and can’t answer. Some of them even pass the immigration and take up work in Malaysia capital city. But in the past few months, every day at least five to six are returning due to deportation,”
“Due to less ticket price from Hydrabad to KLIA people from North India are preferring Hyderabad than Delhi to reach Kulalampur,” the officials said.
