Those arrested were identified as Rajinder Parsad Khatri, his wife Asha Khatri, son Danish Khatri and the complainant’s wife Neha Vohra. No arrests have been made till now and police said that a probe was underway in this regard.

Vohra alleged that his wife Neha, Danish and Asha were living in Canada. He said the accused claimed that Asha’s sister was a political figure in Canada and she would help in arranging permanent residency (PR) for him but it did not happen. He said he gave around Rs 50 lakh on different dates and even had to sell his house to pay the money.

He lodged a complaint with the police in May last year. A probe was carried out by an ACP rank official and after taking the opinion of the district legal attorney, the police registered an FIR on Sunday under section 420 and 120-B of IPC. Police said further investigations were in progress and efforts were on to arrest the suspects.
