Mohali couple allegedly duped dozens of innocent youths of over Rs. 200 crores

Mohali: The lure of  getting fast buck through foreign jobs  and settlling down   in USA, Canada, UK  has ruined lakhs of Punjabi youth over the last several decades.  Thousands of victims  are trapped  by Instant Visa agents and enticed to sell off their valuable assets  and  ditch their families  for a mirage called Green Card.  Thousands of Visa shops and IELT coaching centres across Punjab and Chandigarh  promise the innocent youth the moon but  deliver dust bags in the end !

Local police evade prompt action and instead quiz the vicitims for weeks, allowing the culprits destroy evidence or run away to safer shelters. An association formed by the Visa fraud victims addressed the media persons at Mohali Press Club on Wednesday,  seeking to highlight their plight as their patience was getting drained away by long wait.

Sukhdev Singh President of the victims’ Association alongwith members Harpreet Singh, Saun Singh, Gurvinder Singh and Parvesh Singh, exhibited their documents to the local media charging the couple Kulveer Singh Kauda and  Dr. Reet Kauda who are allegedly operating several companies for enticing local youth for provoding Instant Visas to foreign dreamlands.  The couple is alleged to be operating about 6-7  companies in Mohali  and Chandigarh by the names VISALAND, YELLOW  LEAF IMMIGATION, SARDAR VISA HOUSE, HEERA CONSULTANCY, VAST OVERSEAS, MOVE TO ABROAD etc. alleged to have taken licenses in their own and their relatives’ names to attract visa seeking youth in different areas and under attractive company names.

Victims allege, the couple had taken advance money in lakhs from victims, even given some fake visa letters  and then lowered down their office shutters. They are not even responding to phone calls now.  The fraud has been going for over a year in the area and visa seekers running after them but getting only assurances and nothing more tangible proof of visa sanctions.  The vicims have  launched complaints with local police and met senior police officials; they were quizzed for weeks together without catching the culprits; thereby the fraud companies getting

time to flee with their hard earned money.

The Association has also alleged, these company owners have transferred crores of Rupees (in Dollars) to their overseas accounts or to associates operating in USA, UK, Canada, Australia etc.  or through Hawala modes.  It is also feared the companies have duped the government by evading taxes  to the tune of Rs. 20 to 30 crores in the process. Due to the dilly-dally working styles of the sarkari agencies, the thugs have got margin time to run away or destroy evidences.

The victims’ association  has threatened to sit on Dharna outside police offices  if no action is taken to arrest the fraudulant couple or given relief to the victims by March 15.
