Immigration still searching for missing Indians
It is understood some of them paid up to $NZ17,000 to a middle man in India.
The men say they have not tried to cheat the immigration system. They say they are victims, having paid a lifetime's worth of wages for visas they thought would help them start a new life in New Zealand.
The men say they borrowed from money lenders to pay for the visas and fear for the safety of their families and themselves if they are forced to return to India.
Immigration officials say they are continuing to work with the Indian community to find and talk with the other 36 runaways.
