Chandigarh, October 4
Tightening the noose around immigration firms duping people on the pretext of sending them abroad, the Chandigarh Police has registered a case against M/S Expo Universe for cheating an Ambala resident of Rs 8.1 lakh on the pretext of sending his son abroad.
Ashok Kumar of Gobind Nagar at Ambala Cantonment reported that he paid Rs 8.1 lakh to the Sector-9 firm for sending his son to Canada on a work visa. He alleged that the immigration firm neither sent his son abroad, nor returned the money despite repeated requests.
According to the police, Neena Sharma, Vikram and Nidhi, employees of the firm operating from SCO 46-47 at Sector 9, had been booked under Sections 420 and 120-B of the IPC. Police officials said they would trace other customers of the firm during investigations to establish whether there were more victims.
In another development, District Magistrate Brijendra Singh today imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC for 60 days regarding liabilities of immigration companies in Chandigarh to check their unlawful activities and made it mandatory to such companies to furnish information about themselves to the police within seven days.
