Immigration consultants booked for fraud


Patiala, October 13
The police has registered a case pertaining to cheating against an immigration firm, Auscan Consultant India Limited, Chandigarh, following a probe by the Rajpura police that indicated large scale fund transactions from some fraudulent accounts.

A case has been registered under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC against Muneet Bindra, Sunil Jaggi and Prabhjot Singh. However, no arrests have been made so far.
Addressing mediapersons, Patiala SSP Gurpreet Singh Gill said Bansi Lal, a Karnal resident, had approached Sunil Jaggi, director, Auscan Consultant India Limited, to send his son Paras Gera to England for education. When Lal failed to produce sufficient funds in his account, Jaggi allegedly promised to arrange Rs 7.42 lakh in his account and took a guarantee in the form of his property documents.
Gill added that after Lal’s account was allegedly opened in Axis Bank, Rajpura, Jaggi took away cheque book from Lal and later made numerous “benami” transactions from his account in connivance with the bank officials after sending Paras abroad.
“We are also trying to get to the bank employees who helped the consultant open the bank account in Rajpura,” the SSP said.
