Sonepat police have booked a father-son duo travel agents for allegedly duping ₹11 lakh from a man on the pretext of sending him to Germany.
The police have booked two persons, Jatin and his father Parvinder Singh under Sections 316(2), 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 24 of the Immigration Act.
The complainant Satish, a resident of Panipat (now living in Sonepat) said that he met Jatin in Armenia in 2023 and he told him that he deals in work and study visas.
“Jatin assured me of a work visa in Germany. The deal was fixed at ₹18 lakh and I gave him ₹11 lakh in two installments in February and March last year. Three months later, I neither got a visa nor flight tickets. When I demanded money back, Parminder, a retired army man, threatened him to face dire consequences and blocked my contact number,” he added.
ASI Surjeet said that he recorded statements of both sides and after proper investigation, it came to light that father-son duo duped Satish. A case was registered against them.
