Police have registered case against Rajesh Kumar and his wife Sonia.
In his complaint, Rajan Sangari told the police that in June 2019, he had got in touch with Sector-37 residents Rajesh and Sonia through a friend. Rajesh had demanded ₹20 lakh to send Rajan to Canada and on June 19, he paid ₹7 lakh through a cheque and then paid another amount of ₹1.8 lakh. But after receiving the money, the accused stopped responding to his calls. When Rajan demanded his money back, they started making excuses.
Rajan then lodged a complaint in October 2019 with the police and after investigation, the case has now been registered under sections 420 and 120B of the IPC at Chandigarh’s Sector-39 police station.
