The former interpreter, who served alongside British Forces, claimed some people had exaggerated the threat they faced when applying to enter the UK. They sent fake Taliban letters, staged torture videos and made false allegations of attacks, he said.

Some even pushed to bring their second wives to the UK, alongside other relatives, he alleged. He told Sky News he was aware of applicants who had travelled back and forth for holidays and other trips.
