Indian law enforcement agency uncovers involvement of 262 Canadian colleges in human trafficking cases
India TV NewsNew Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday said it is investigating the "involvement" of more than 260 Canadian colleges and a few Indian entities in a money laundering case linked to the trafficking of Indians into the US from the Canada border. Patel and others are alleged to have “hatched a well-planned conspiracy to send people to the USA through Canada via illegal channels thereby committing the offence of human trafficking,” it said. The agency had earlier found that as part of the racket, the accused “arranged” admission for people, desirous to go to the US illegally, in colleges and universities based in Canada. The agency said the latest searches found that about 25,000 students are being referred by one entity and more than 10,000 students by the other to various colleges based outside India every year.
