Chandigarh Police Book Sector-17 Immigration Firm World Walk Immigration for Allegedly Cheating Job Seekers of ₹9.8 Lakh

The Chandigarh Police have registered a cheating case against World Walk Immigration, a Sector-17–based consultancy, for allegedly duping six job seekers of a total of ₹9.8 lakh by promising overseas employment in Europe.

The case was filed after complainant Lalit Kumar reported that the firm collected cash payments from him in exchange for arranging a construction job in Luxembourg. Kumar told investigators that the consultancy issued him what appeared to be a medical test report and an appointment letter, both of which were later found to be fabricated. After handing over the documents, the staff reportedly stopped responding to his calls and messages.

According to police, preliminary inquiries revealed that five other individuals had made similar payments to the firm on the promise of foreign job placements. All reported that communication from the consultancy abruptly ceased after they submitted money for processing, documentation or medical examinations.

The FIR names Anubhav Garg, proprietor of World Walk Immigration, along with two employees. The trio has been booked under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Investigators confirmed that no arrests had been made as of press time. However, officers stated that they are collecting bank transaction records, CCTV footage from the firm’s office, and copies of the alleged forged documents to map the money trail and verify the scale of the fraud.

Police officials also said they are examining whether the consultancy used social-media advertisements to attract additional job seekers from neighbouring Punjab and Haryana, suggesting the possibility of a wider scam.

Authorities have urged the public to remain cautious of immigration agents offering high-salary jobs abroad in exchange for large upfront payments.
