Indian law enforcement agencies say they are investigating alleged links between dozens of colleges in Canada and two “entities” in Mumbai accused of illegally ferrying students across the Canada-United States border.

A news release Tuesday from India’s Enforcement Directorate—a multi-disciplinary organization that investigates money laundering and foreign exchange laws—said a multi-city search has revealed “incriminating” evidence of “human trafficking.”
