In his complaint, Devender said in July 2023, he came into contact with an employee of Rudraksh Company, who promised to arrange a work visa for him in a foreign country. “He took Rs 1 lakh in cash and Rs 16.45 lakh via RTGS, besides another Rs 10,000 later,” Devender said.

However, after receiving the money, the company’s director, Rakesh Rikhi, along with other employees, neither provided the promised visa nor returned the amount.

Based on the complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections of the IPC at Sadar Hisar Police Station on August 5, 2025.
