Travel agent held for ₹20 lakh immigration fraud, promised US entry through multiple countries
Chandigarh: A travel agent from Indore has been arrested for allegedly defrauding a Barwala resident of ₹20 lakh by falsely promising him entry into the United States. The accused, Lokesh Jat, was nabbed in Noida on May 16 by the anti-immigration fraud unit of Panchkula police.
The complainant, Dilraj Singh, had filed a report on September 30 last year, about the elaborate scam which began on October 13, 2023. Jat had assured Singh of facilitating his entry into the US, but instead sent him on a difficult journey through countries like Thailand, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, and Dubai, over several months. Despite repeated assurances, Singh was never able to reach the US and was ultimately brought back to India.
When confronted, Jat allegedly offered Singh a Canadian visa as an alternative route to the US but again failed to deliver or refund the money. During a seven-day police remand, authorities managed to recover ₹5 lakh of the defrauded amount. Jat, now in judicial custody, is one of four individuals accused in the case.
Police are searching for the remaining three accused and trying to recover the remaining funds.

Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.
Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
