Woman cheated of 16.7L in visa fraud
Ahmedabad: A 25-year-old woman filed a complaint on Saturday at the Infocity police station in Gandhinagar after losing Rs 16.7 lakh to alleged visa fraud involving a consultancy firm. The accused, identified as Janak Patel of Narayan Consultancy, allegedly took Rs 30 lakh from the woman after promising to arrange a Canadian work permit for her. The victim, a resident of Motera, was working at a beauty parlour in Sargasan when she became a target of the fraud. She learned about the consultancy through a friend and was initially quoted Rs 32 lakh for the work permit. After negotiations, the amount was reduced to Rs 30 lakh, and she agreed to pay the sum in two instalments: Rs 18 lakh first, followed by Rs 12 lakh. Despite completing all necessary paperwork and formalities, she did not receive the promised Canadian work permit. When she began asking for updates, Janak failed to respond. Eventually, she filed a police complaint, which resulted in a partial refund of Rs 13.25 lakh. However, Rs 16.75 lakh remained unpaid, leading her to realise she was scammed. Infocity police registered an FIR of cheating and breach of trust against Janak Patel and are currently investigating the matter.

Sharing a post on LinkedIn, he wrote,'At 22, I did the unthinkable: I turned down an offer from Andrej Karpathy and Tesla's Autopilot team. Bold move or just plain crazy? You decide. It was June 2020. COVID was at its peak, toilet paper was the new currency, and every company was laying off people faster than ever. Startups were disappearing like free donuts in the break room. I had 2 full-time offers – one from Tesla and another from a not so well known startup, AutoGrid. For anyone in their right mind, this would be an easy decision. But I couldn't imagine myself as another cog in Tesla's high-speed machine. So, naturally, I took my chances on AutoGrid.'
