Delhi Man “Kills” his Imaginary “Twin Brother” To Get Visa and Live the American Dream

In a shocking incident worthy of a crime thriller film, a Delhi-based man “killed” his imaginary “twin brother” to somehow get a visa and live the American dream. The 26-year-old man from Punjab reportedly created a fictitious twin, whom he killed and then applied for visa to attend his fictitious funeral. His elaborate filmy plan was foiled thanks to the US immigration office.

Jaswinder Singh, a resident of Patiala, Punjab, was enamored by the American life and wanted to settle down in US. However, the 26-year-old had no specific way to get to the United States. To make his dreams come true, Jaswinder hatched an elaborate plot of creating an imaginary twin brother, and then killing him.

Singh forged documents that would state that he has a ‘twin’ brother who lived in US and died there. He then sought a visa to fly to US and attend the funeral. However, little did he know the amount of scrutiny he would be put under by the US embassy.

During the interview at the embassy, the officers interviewing him were obviously skeptical at the similarities in the pictures of Jaswinder Singh and his ‘twin brother’. They were also shocked seeing a letter from a funeral home, and a cremation center’s verification of death.

Jaswinder has been booked under sections pertaining to forging and impersonation.

The Confession Under Sustained Questioning

Unfortunately for Jaswinder, the trained officials at the US embassy were quick to spot his lies. They were skeptical from the get go, as the pictures of his “twin brother” Kulwinder Singh, looked eerily similar to his own pictures.

Further, they also did some background checks, and found that there was no such person by the name of Kulwinder Singh, who had lived in New York, and neither did a person with that name passed away on the mentioned date.

When confronted with the real facts, Jaswinder couldn’t sustain under the questioning, and soon spilled the secrets. He confessed that he had forged the documents of his employment, and took his friend’s help to furnish funeral letter and other documents. He also confessed of posing as a police officer, in order to get more credibility in front of the visa officials.

Jaswinder has been booked under multiple sections of IPC, including sections pertaining to fraud and impersonation.
