The EditorAccused Arrested for US visa fraud Kaithal : Duping Man of ₹45 Lakh on Promise of Sending Him to the USA
Kaithal, December 01 – Under the directions of SP Upasana, Kaithal Police continues its crackdown on individuals involved in fraudulent activities linked to foreign immigration scams. In one such case, the police have arrested an accused for cheating a man of ₹45 lakh on the pretext of sending him to the United States.
The investigation was carried out by a team led by ASI Sandeep Kumar under the supervision of SHO SI Rakha of Police Station Guhla. The arrested accused has been identified as Satpal Singh, a resident of Village Mastgarh.
Victim Paid ₹45 Lakh but Never Received Visa
According to the complaint filed by Jaswinder Singh, resident of Ward No. 6, Cheeka, he owns a shop in Village Sultania where Satpal Singh and his son Omprakash frequently visited. Knowing his desire to go abroad, the accused told him that Satpal’s brother-in-law Parminder Lal, based in Chandigarh, arranged foreign travel and had already sent several youths abroad.
A few days later, Satpal Singh, his son Omprakash, his wife Banso Devi, daughter Bhupinder Kaur, and Parminder Lal arrived at his shop in a Thar vehicle and assured him that they could get him a visa for the US. The deal was finalized for ₹40 lakh, after which the complainant paid ₹25 lakh in cash, followed by an additional ₹20 lakh for visa processing.
Despite receiving a total of ₹45 lakh, the accused failed to send him to the USA. When the victim demanded his money back, the accused allegedly threatened and abused him. The victim then filed a complaint at Police Station Guhla, where a case was registered.
Accused Sent to Judicial Custody
Police spokesperson reported that the accused was presented before the court on Monday and has been sent to judicial custody. Further investigation is underway, and efforts to trace remaining accused involved in the fraud are continuing.
