A local court in Gurgaon, Haryana, India, has directed the police to register a First Information Report (FIR) regarding a visa fraud case involving ₹23 lakh (approximately $27,600 USD). The complaint was filed by Himmat, who claimed he was promised a Canadian visa and job for a payment of ₹23.5 lakh. After transferring ₹23.45 lakh to the accused's account at Punjab National Bank and paying an additional ₹5,000 in cash, Himmat alleged that he received only ₹6 lakh back in two installments before the accused ceased all communication. Initially, the police refused to register the FIR, categorizing the issue as a financial dispute related to an investment in a liquor business in Rajasthan. However, judicial magistrate Uditi Mittal ruled that the allegations represented cognizable offences, necessitating a police investigation. The court noted that the case involved significant financial transactions and inter-state elements, allowing for further inquiry into bank records and communications. The investigating officer has been authorized to include additional suspects if necessary.
