The EditorKaithal – The Economic Cell has arrested an accused in a case of fraud involving lakhs of rupees taken from a family under the pretext of sending their son to Germany. The investigation was led by ASI Surender Singh and his team.
Police spokesperson Praveen Shyokand stated that Sripal, a resident of Sajuma village, filed a complaint alleging that his son Kuldeep wanted to go abroad. For this, he approached an agent, Lakshmi Narayan alias Vinod, his wife Sushila, and another person named Vilesh, all residents of Kalayat. The accused assured him that they could send Kuldeep to Germany and collected his documents.
In April and May 2024, the family paid ₹12.5 lakhs to the accused. Despite repeated assurances, they never sent Kuldeep abroad. When the family followed up, the accused continued to give false promises. Later, when they demanded their money back, the accused refused and even issued death threats.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered at Kalayat Police Station. The police recovered ₹20,000 from the accused, who has now been sent to judicial custody as per court orders.
