In the Panipat district of Haryana, cases of fraud under the pretext of sending people abroad are continuously increasing. In the latest incident, a major fraud has come to light involving Manoj Kumar, a resident of the village of Balana. The victim has filed a complaint with the Superintendent of Police, after which a case was registered at the Israna police station.
Meeting a person from Mumbai
Manoj Kumar stated that several youths from his village were earning well abroad, which inspired him to also go abroad. Through an acquaintance, he met Lakhwinder Singh from Mumbai. A deal was made between them for 35 lakh rupees. Initially, Lakhwinder demanded 2 lakh rupees for the visa.
Excuse of not getting an American visa
Manoj handed over the money along with his passport after meeting the accused near Mahipalpur at Delhi Airport. A few days later, the accused claimed that a direct American visa couldn’t be obtained and demanded 9 lakh rupees more, stating that he would send Manoj via Dubai. The victim borrowed 5 lakh rupees from his sister and 4 lakh rupees from his friend and transferred the money to the accused’s account. On August 29, 2023, the accused sent Manoj to Kuwait from Delhi.
Contacting via WhatsApp call
After staying there for a few days, the accused showed fake visas for Azerbaijan and Mexico and took 4000 dollars from Manoj. The accused, promising to send him to America, left Manoj at the Delhi Airport. When the victim asked for his money back, the accused started avoiding him, only contacting him through WhatsApp calls. The police are now investigating the case.
