A federal court in Chicago has indicted four Indian nationals for staging armed robberies to help individuals obtain U-Visas. The visas are reserved for victims of specific crimes who have assisted law enforcement. The defendants, all with the last name Patel, allegedly paid thousands of dollars to participate in the scam. The staged robberies involved fake robbers displaying firearms and approaching victims, who then filed reports with authorities. The indictment follows a joint investigation by local and federal authorities. The defendants face charges of conspiracy, robbery, and visa fraud.
