Mangalore : Bahrain 'Visa' Providers Under DCIB Police Net


Mangalore: DCIB Police Bust Fake Visa Racket, Arrest Two
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SB) 

Mangalore, Feb 28: District Crime Intelligence Bureau (DCIB) police on Friday February 26 arrested two at Nellikai road here and busted a fake visa racket. 

The arrested are identified as Canute D’Souza (60) of Jayashree Gate, Bikarnakatte and Francis Rebello of Prashanth Bagh,  Alape, Padil. The police have recovered 128 biodatas, receipt books and fake police clearance certificates. The accused have been handed over to Pandeshwar police for further investigation, stated a press release from the department.


It is learnt that JCG Associates advertised in a Malayalam newspaper on last January 20 that there were vacancies for the post of BSc nurses, general nurses, X-ray technicians, ward boys, ambulance drivers, security guards and cleaners at American Mission Hospital in Bahrain. Following this Indian Embassy at Bahrain had enquired in the hospital authorities and they declined the advertisement. They added that they had not given any recruitment power to JCG Associates. 

Meanwhile, the embassy wrote to ministry of overseas Indain affairs, New Delhi on February 1 to initiate action against JCG Associates and in turn ministry sent a fax to superintendent of police, Dakshina Kannada on February 19. Based on the fax, the DCIB sleuths conducted the raid on JCG Associates on the night of Friday. It is learnt that JCG Associates have charged Rs 15,000 from around 128 candidates interviewed  for the jobs.

    Jerry, regards to ur reply to me..Y is Nirmala bringing up her land matter here,she should have taken details from him before remitting funds..We literate people go ahead with transactions without inquiring in detail and then when his name is brought up for another matter, She is saying about her LAND issue.. This means she was Dumb before sending money without proper details..On what grounds did she send him the Cash??

    She must be knowing him in some way..Thats the reason she trusted him from overseas and remitted funds...So now it is up to her to recover the cash..She cannot ask people here..As we are trying to solve the VIsa matter and NOT HER LAND ISSUE>>> Request all people here to comment on the NEWs of Visa problem and not Other Land issues etc...

    Dear Jerry, Mumbai,
    Please send us your contact information on this blog and we will produce all the evidence what we have collected. We are ad agency and its our duty to collect these information as we are the main sources where advertisement to all the news paper is released by us. We are connected to the media, news paper and also to the concerned authorities. What we have mentioned here was the fact and we haven't shown nor expressed any support in favour of JCG ASSOCIATES. what i have said is that there was ad published in the news paper and they have also published it once again asking for the apology. We are not bothered about how you are connected to JCG ASSOCIATES. But now we know that it might be you and few of your friends who sent the false requirement to JCG ASSOCIATES as during interrogation both accused have said that someone from overseas agency has passed on the false requirement.

    Avinash Shetty, Boloor, Mangalore, First of all why don’t you reveal your agency’s name in this blog, so that we can understand to what extent you are related with JCG. Secondly you are working for an ad agency, but not for a TV channel or newspaper agency. So it shows by your version that you are doing a reporter’s job or a detective’s job. But for your profession it was not necessary, to go to the court for four days or to find out about JCG or to meet those nurses who have paid to JCG unless you have some hidden interest or agenda. Now you mentioned here that the DCIB is wrong in arresting them, Pandeshwar Polce is wrong by filing cases against them, those fake certificates which were seized from their office is wrong, the Indian Embassy is wrong, The American Mission Hospital in Bahrain is also wrong and overall the readers who have shared their experiences in this blog and the people who know them for years together are also liars and you are the only person who have come with this version is right. So you think we are all fools to believe you, isn’t it.?

    With due respect to Nirmala keeping in mind the Hardearned money of Rs. 3 Lacs, the best advice and solution is as follows. Of course there are nearly 3 Crores cases in the court and this issue will add one more.

    1. On What basis did Nirmala Give Rs. 3 Lacs to the said Crook (I prefer not to use his name). Did she see the land before finalising or does she have some details of the land. Did Nirmala get carried away with the sweet talks of the said crook.

    2. Do you have any proof of payment to the Crook.

    3.If the payment to the crook is routed through the Bank, then you must be having the remittance copy or Cheque Copy.

    4. Has the said crook given a receipt of Rs. 3 Lacs to you. Is the recept on stamp paper or plain paper. Has the crook given a cheque of Rs. 3 Lacs against the said amount.

    5. Do you have correct residential or contact address details of this crook.

    5. If you wish to recover your money then it is time you engage a Lawyer. My Advice is to engage M.P.Shenoy, Light House Hill Road, Mangalore - Phone No.: 0824 2428765 or Cell No.: 94481 48272. He is the best lawyer in Mangalore and a good friend.

    6. Since you are based out of India, it is advisable to give Power of Attorney (POA) to your relative to follow up the case.

    7. CAse can be filed on the basis of Fraud, cheating and Breach of Trust.

    I work for a in leading advertising agency in Mangalore. From last 4 days our team is busy collecting information about JCG ASSOCIATES. Today i was shocked to know that much of the information released on this website was false. I also visited the Pandeshwar Police station and also collected some information from them. I was also at the court today afternoon to see the legal proceedings carried forward against the 2 accused. I have gone through the advertisement released by JCG ASSOCIATES dated 20-01-2010 where a advertisement was released in Malayalum Manorama news paper in Kannur edition. This vacancy was released on behalf of Bahrain American Mission Hospital.

    There were several vacancies there. I think the whole thing started here. I feel this was falsely published. But along with the same news paper was another news paper attached along and I saw another advertisement released dated 27-01-2010 in the same Malayalum Manorama news paper in Kannur edition saying that the earlier advertisement was wrongly released based on false requirement received from one overseas agency. They had asked all the general public to classify the earlier advertisement as false and cancelled. They have also asked for the apology from the public for the in-convenience caused. Also we enquired with all the nurses who had sent resumes by post to courier and whose numbers were mentioned on the charge sheet.

    On our enquiry with all the nurses regarding the advance payment of Rupees 15,000/- we are shocked to hear that none of the Nurses had paid a single penny. The information produced by DCIB Police was 100% false. Also it was mentioned that JCG ASSOCIATES was involved with fake PCC racket. Even this is 100% false information as there was no proof of any such document. We have verified with all the documents and also with the public. Now we know that JCG ASSOCIATES had released the ad, but had also apologized from the public for the when they came to know that information released was wrong. So be careful as Police can file any charges against you for the crimes you have not committed.

    Sarita Mumbai, why do you give wrong advise to Nirmala Mumbai. She has lost her money and she is trying to recover it. If you cannot give her the right advise, atleast do not discourage her.
    Nirmala, In my opinion, this is the right time to recover your money else once this issue becomes old, everyone forgets it, and ultimately you will be the loser. You can also find out easily the lawful owner of the land if you have the copy of RTC with you. You have to go to Mangalore alongwith all your documents you have, related to your deal with Francis, and file a written complaint with the same DCIB, as well as Pandeshwar Police. By doing so you are going to add one more criminal case against them. I feel may be there are many criminal cases are already filed against them. I also request NRIs who are cheated by them to send a written complaint along with all the copies of related documents to DCIB and a CC to Pandeshwar Police also giving a General Power of Attorney to your near ones to follow up the case with the police and with the court of law, if necessary. If these culprits are left easily, then they will come out from the custody and start their cheating business in a different name and in a different manner. Let us not give a chance for that. Let them rot in the Jail.

    Well done police. This man gave a lot of trouble to one of my friends. She was from a very poor catholic family. This man took huge amount of money from her and promised her a visa. He took her passport. Later when she tried to contact him from Kundapur Canute D'Sounza started speaking arrogantly. He denied to give her money back. He also refused to return the passport. When she went there with her brother he threatned her and abused her. Later we took the help of the police in Kundapur. Then DySP of Kundapur Shashidhar helped us to go to Pandeshwar police.

    Panambur Circle Valentine D'Souza also helped us to get the money and passport back. Panddeshwar pilce knew exactly what this man is doing. But there was good some nexus between police and him. Now had DCIB not intervened he would have continued with the his cheating business. Now DCIB has trabsfered the case to Pandeshwar station. Now tell me, How can we trust the same Pandeshwar poilce to give us justice? They will save him!

    Nirmala,Educated people like us should be careful before sending money. You should have taken contact details of the landlord from Mr. Francis before sending the money.There is no point bringing your land matter up now, after he is caught for this visa issue. Now you give up hopes of getting this money back.Next time be Careful.

    Fast Money !!! This Canute D'Souza was once working in Oman and has good links with some old friends. Working in Gulf itself is enough to make a better living. Do not understand why he had to get into this racket. Sending people to Gulf he used to charge to the tune of Rs. 70 to 80 thousand earlier (perhaps more now) and now a false case? Only God should protect him. Disgrace to the family and society.

    Undoubtedly Once a thief is always a thief. In a country like India where the criminal justice system is so weak and hollow a thief will always follow the same path. Take for e.g the Lokayukta Cases where santhosh hegde has caught nearly 1,000 govt officers red handed for corruption and how many are prosecuted "NIL". That is why corruption still continues as our Lokayukta has no power to prosecute. In the above case it was timely intervention by the Govt that averted major fraud of Rs. 19 Lacs. There are several frauds, scams taking place through human trafficing and the involvement of politicians and elite class of people has been traced. Has anybody been punished. That is why we get to see, hear, read and talk about human trafficing and child prostitution which is a major problem in India where prosectuion of Accused in Zero. Very shortly the above criminals will walk out with their heads up shamelessly and will continue their dirty work elsewhere. So far our legal system is weak in India over the years bad people are going to overtake good people. Mark my Words.

    Well done District Crime Intelligence Bureau (DCIB). Many years ago this very same Canute D’Souza was involved in a case filed by a young girl who was sent to Oman with false age, she was forcefully raped several times by the guy who had employed her and when she was pregnant, she was sent back to Mangalore. This young girl, I really admire her guts who took a bold step in filing a case against Canute D’Souza and I was told that she won the case. I thought that Canute D’Souza would have learnt a lesson from that case, but sad that he is yet again involved in such atrocities.

    God knows how many innocent people are suffering because of the greed of these vultures. This sort of work they do is like selling ones own brothers and sisters. What a disgrace to the society and Christians especially. These kind of people are the blacksheep that tarnish the names of their communities, he should be dealt with severely, once sent in never allowed to come out again. For once he is out, he will repeat the same. Aadat ban jaata hai The prison becomes "SASURAAL"
