Indian Migrant First in UK Charged Over Online Illegal Immigration Ads A 24 year old Indian migrant, Hem Raj, has been charged under new legislation aimed at tackling online scams related to immigration.
This marks the first prosecution under Section 17 of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025, which makes it a crime to promote unlawful immigration services online.
The charge stems from Raj's alleged publication of social media posts offering guidance on fraudulent visa applications between August 2024 and February 2026.
