Bishnoi Gang Exploits Canadian Student Visa Scheme, Classified Report Shows

A classified report released by Canadian authorities has revealed that the Bishnoi gang, based in India, is using the country’s student visa program to further its illicit operations. The investigation indicates that members of the gang are obtaining student visas under false pretenses, allowing them to travel to Canada and then engage in criminal activities. The report underscores the need for tighter scrutiny of visa applications and highlights the international dimension of the gang’s operations. Law enforcement agencies in both Canada and India are reportedly collaborating to dismantle the network and prevent future misuse of the visa system. The findings have prompted calls for stricter vetting procedures and increased cooperation between the two nations’ immigration and law‑enforcement bodies.
