Haryana Police have filed charges against two travel agents for allegedly deceiving a young individual of Rs 18 lakh by sending him to Dubai instead of Germany. The accused are identified as Jitender from Naru Kheri village in Kaithal district and Vikram from Chandigarh, according to Alewa police in the Jind district.

“My brother Mohit, 23, had completed his Class X11 and was seeking a work permit in foreign country. We had no land, so we sold everything, including jewellry and other valuable things, to fulfill his dreams. The accused asked for Rs 18 lakh and promised to send him to Germany in June of 2023. But he was sent to Dubai following which they have been shifting him to different areas and countries.”
Ishwar said: “I last spoke with my brother on Dec 26. Subsequently he didn’t make any calls to us. However, the accused then asked for more money to send him to Germany and threatened to kill him otherwise.” Alewa police have registered a case against both accused.
