💸 ₹36 Lakh Demand for Sending Victim to America

the accused allegedly promised to send his brother:

to the United States.

💰 ₹36 lakh
for arranging the immigration process.
Trusting the assurances, the family reportedly paid the amount in multiple installments over time.
✈️ Sent to Dubai Instead of America
The complaint alleges that despite collecting the money for an America immigration program, the accused did not arrange travel to the United States.
Instead, the victim was reportedly sent to:
🇦🇪 Dubai
According to the family, no further arrangements were made to send him onward to the United States.
After remaining stranded, he eventually returned to India.
⚠️ Refund Requests Ignored

The family later approached authorities seeking legal action.
🧾 Cheques Allegedly Found to Be Fake

This became a key part of the complaint submitted to law enforcement authorities.
