Sangrur, August 29

The Sangrur police have registered a case against two Delhi residents for an alleged fraud of Rs 65 lakh on the pretext of sending two unemployed youths to the US.

Sharing the details, complainant Ram Singh of Sangrur said through a friend, he and his relative got in touch with the travel agents, identified as Ashok Kumar and Vishal Jain of New Delhi, in May 2018 for sending their sons to the US.

“Both agents met us at their New Delhi office in May 2018 and later collected the documents of our sons many times. We paid them Rs 65 lakh in cash and through bank. Initially, they had promised to send both the boys to the US within a month but when nothing happened till November 2018, we started demanding our money back,” the complainant said.

When they failed to get the money back, they lodged a complaint with the Sangrur SSP, who ordered an inquiry. After a detailed probe, the Sangrur city police have registered a case under Sections 420 and 120B of the IPC against Ashok Kumar and Vishal Jain. “When we went to New Delhi in December to meet both the agents, their office was closed as they had shifted to some other place and we again lodged a complaint with the police,” Ram Singh added. ASI Hardial Singh could not be contacted.
