Haryana Home Minister orders SIT probe into fraudulent travel agent

Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij on Saturday redressed the grievances of the people of the Ambala constituency and gave directions to the concerned officers to take action on various cases. Home Minister Vij directed the Sonipat Police Commissioner to investigate and take “immediate action” regarding the complaint of a man living in the Housing Board of Ambala Cantonment who alleged that he was duped of Rs 40 lakh by a travel agent who promised to help him send his son abroad to pursue higher education.
He alleged that the agent told him and his family that he sends young people abroad regularly and that he worked for an airline. The complainant alleged that after taking their money, the agent gave his son a fake visa and ticket and kept him in Karnataka’s capital city Bengaluru for two days. When the son became suspicious, he asked the agent to retun his money and papers back to him, which the agent refused to do.
