The accused have been identified as Ashok Kumar and his son, Lishok Kumar, of Basti Gujja in Jalandhar, and Mohammad Sufian of Malerkotla.

Gurpinder Singh, a resident of Kaleke village, had filed a complaint on September 13 last year. In his complaint, he had alleged that the accused took Rs 15.47 lakh from him for the work. However, neither did the accused arrange a visa for him, nor did they return his money.

During investigation, the police verified the allegations and found the evidence against the three accused. A case under Section 420 (cheating) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 13 of the Punjab Travel Profession Regulation Act has been registered in the matter.
