In Amritsar, a fake agent has cheated 18 people in the name of sending them abroad. The accused cheated them of about 1 crore 8 lakh rupees and take their passports with him. The victims of the fraud appeared before the commissioner today and demanded action. The victims arrived today with the farmers’ organization, who warned of staging a protest if no action was taken.
Victims Harbans Lal, Baljit Singh and a victim woman told that Baldev Singh, Akwinder Kaur and Jarnail Singh had cheated them. They added that accuse run an office located in Bhalla Colony. In total there are about 18 people who have been cheated and all are from different villages of Attari constituency.
About 3 years ago, the accused took Rs 18 lakh from some, Rs 8 lakh from another and Rs 12 lakh from somebody else. They were lured by promising to send their sons to England and Canada. The accused returned cheques of Rs 1 lakh each to the victims which bounced later.
After that, a complaint was filed in the commissioner’s office last month. The commissioner forwarded the complaint. But since then, no police officer has called him to write a statement nor has taken any action. That is why he has come to appear before the commissioner again today and has come to appeal that his hard-earned money and passport be returned from the accused.
During this, Kisan Sangharsh Committee leader Kabal Singh, who accompanied him, said that the police should deal strictly with fake agents. If these people’s money is not returned, they will stage a dharna.
