City couple booked for duping youth

Patiala, July 31
The city police has registered a case pertaining to cheating and conspiracy against a city-based travel agent husband-wife duo for duping a local resident of money to the tune of lakhs on the pretext of sending him abroad. While the Tripuri police has registered a case against the accused couple, it is yet to make arrests.

The police said the accused had been identified as Raspal Singh and his wife, Hardeep Kaur, who had allegedly duped a resident of Tripuri, Chirag Malhotra, of Rs 2,40,000 for sending him abroad. “However when the couple failed to send the victim abroad, he demanded his money back, following which accused started avoiding him,” said the police.
“While an FIR has been registered, the couple is on the run and yet to be arrested,” said the Tripuri police.
