Ludhiana: The Malhotra siblings, who owned an immigration office, have been booked for duping a resident of Moga of Rs 12 lakh on the pretext of arranging a UK study visa.
The FIR has been lodged by Model Town Police on the complaint of Gurmeet Singh of Moga against Amit Malhotra and his sister Veenu Malhotra.
The victim filed a police complaint on September 24, 2024 saying that he wanted to go to the United Kingdom on study visa, for which he approached the accused. The accused accepted Rs 12 lakh from him but did not arrange a visa. He did not return the money either.
Sub-inspector Parminder Singh, investigating officer, said that the police lodged an FIR under sections 420 (cheating) and 120-B (criminal intimidation) of the IPC against the duo. The accused are already facing multiple FIRs in similar fraud cases.
