‘Career Abroad’ in Sector 44 was being run by director Amit Kakkar’s wife
Chandigarh, August 19
The UT police today sealed another education consultancy being run by Healthyway Immigration in Sector 44. Career Abroad, an education consultancy being run by Swati Kakkar, wife of the prime accused Amit Kakkar, was sealed by the police and vital documents were confiscated.
The police said the firm was in the dock for duping scores of complainants on the promise of easy migration abroad.
Swati, who runs the consultancy, is a co-accused in the case. She is yet to be arrested. DSP Ashish Kapoor said they had received similar complaints of fraud against Career Abroad and investigations were on to find out the number of complainants they had duped.
Meanwhile, the police seized 174 passports from the offices of Healthyway Immigration belonging to clients. The police received 14 more complaints from residents of Punjab who had been duped.
Officials of the special investigating team (SIT) today confirmed from the UCO Bank branch in Ferozepur that all the documents pertaining to the accused put before the High Commissions/embassies were fake. As many as 14 banks in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal are under the scanner as Amit Kakkar had opened fake accounts.
—Manpreet, a resident of Ludhiana
The office has been sealed and we have nowhere to go. I went to the courier company as the Healthyway office was sealed and the documents are likely to be returned. The police should return the documents to their owners.
—Paramjeet, a resident of Ludhiana
The employees of Healthyway even confiscated the receipt of our applications submitted to the embassy. We are feeling harassed and do not know where to go.
—Gaurav, a complainant from Jalandhar
—Ashish Kapoor, DSP

Confusion over passports
y A large number of clients of Healthyway Immigration in Sector 42 have been left in the lurch as they had deposited essential documents, including passports and matriculation certificates, with the company. Scores of residents from Punjab today approached the police to get back their passports and other documents. A majority of them are unaware if their passports were sent to the embassy or have been sent back following rejection.Utter chaos
I have been facing a harrowing time. All my original documents were sent to the embassy three months ago by Healthyway. My application has been rejected but I do not know where my documents are as the embassy is likely to have returned them to the travel agent.—Manpreet, a resident of Ludhiana

The case is at the investigation stage and many original documents are with the embassy. Clients should approach the courier company or the embassy if they know that their documents were sent by the company.—Ashish Kapoor, DSP
