The accused, Navdeep Singh, has been arrested.

A police complaint lodged by the embassy stated: “Singh applied for a German national visa at the German Embassy on February 14 for the purpose of attending a German-intensive language course for a duration of six months in Germany. He submitted bank statements covering the period from May 1, 2011, to January 2, 2012, showing a balance of Rs 7,19,642 crore.”

“However, when we called the bank, we were told that the account number mentioned on the bank statement does not exist. Singh’s visa application has, therefore, been refused by the German Embassy,” it added.

Embassy officials reportedly stated in the complaint that they suspect “Singh to be involved in illegal activities”.

A senior police officer said, “We have arrested Singh. He wanted to go to Germany and get a job there. There is a possibility that he may be have sought an associate’s help for preparing and submitting the forged documents, as well as bank account details. Investigations are on.”

Singh hails from Ranian
