Seeking justice from Haryana’s Home and Health Minister Sh. Anil Vij, despite the cold on Saturday, hundreds of complainants from across the state reached his residence in Ambala. Several cases of immigration frauds were presented before the Home Minister today, for which he directed the SIT (formed for immigration fraud) to take action.
A complainant from Kaithal informed Home Minister Anil Vij that agents cheated him of Rs. 6 lakhs in the name of sending him to Germany on a work visa. He mentioned that initially, the agents sent him to Russia instead of Germany, and after staying there for a few days, instead of sending him further, he was asked to return to India. After that, the agents sent him to Dubai via Sri Lanka and assured that he would soon be sent to Germany. After staying in Dubai for a few months, he was sent to Kazakhstan where the police caught him. Subsequently, in July last year, he was deported to New Delhi on a flight. Upon returning to the country, when he asked the agents for his money back, he was threatened.
Similarly, in another case of immigration fraud, agents cheated a youth from Yamunanagar by promising to send him to Portugal, duping him of Rs. 9 lakhs. The youth informed Home Minister Anil Vij that the visa shown to him by the agents for sending him to Portugal was fake. Likewise, a young woman from Kurukshetra mentioned that agents cheated her of Rs. 21 lakhs in the name of sending her to England on a study visa. Meanwhile, a youth from Kurukshetra stated that he was duped of Rs. 9.50 lakh in the name of sending him to USA
A complainant from Bhiwani informed Anil Vij that a fraudster in Bhiwani cheated him of Rs. 21.65 lakh in the name of getting him a job in the Income Tax Department. After that, neither did he get the job nor did he get his money back. He filed a case at Bhiwani Police Station, but the police did not take any action. The Home Minister directed the State Crime Bureau to investigate the case.
A complainant from Kaithal informed Home Minister Anil Vij that his son was murdered a few months ago. The police filed a case, but so far neither the culprits have been caught nor has the police conducted a proper investigation. The Home Minister directed the SP of Kaithal to form a separate SIT for the investigation. Likewise, a woman from Kaithal accused her husband of suicide and appealed for an investigation. On this, Home Minister Vij directed the SP of Kaithal to re-examine the case.
