Black dollar scam: Ugandan national held in Nagaland over visa fraud

Kohima: The police have arrested a 35-year-old Ugandan national in Dimapur, Nagaland for forging visa documents. The police revealed that the man has been identified as Michael Philip.

While the arrest was made on Monday, the police said that during its preliminary investigation, Philip was found to be in possession of 4,000 ‘black papers’ in the size of foreign currency notes, along with three bottles containing suspected chemicals.

According to the Dimapur police, the seizures “clearly” indicate the Ugandan man’s involvement in the “black dollar” scam or “wash wash scam” which was corroborated by the additional seizures of instructional manuals of converting the black paper into US dollars and Euro currency notes.
