Acting on the directions of the Punjab NRI Wing, the Mohali Police have registered a fresh criminal case against Amarjit Singh, owner of an immigration firm operating under the name Visa Palace, in connection with alleged cheating and a cheque bounce matter.

The case has been registered following a complaint filed by Navneet Mohan, a resident of Dehradun, who accused the firm’s owner of failing to honour a financial settlement reached earlier in the presence of police officials. According to the complaint, despite a mutual compromise facilitated by the NRI Wing, the accused did not make the agreed payment, leading to the dishonour of a cheque.

Police sources said Navneet Mohan had submitted a formal complaint to the NRI Wing on September 18, 2025, through a PGD number. He stated that a settlement was reached at the NRI Wing office in Phase-7, Mohali, where Amarjit Singh agreed to repay ₹2.65 lakh through two cheques dated August 11, 2025, and September 11, 2025.

However, when the first cheque was presented to the bank, it was returned unpaid with the remark “drawer signature differs.” The complainant alleged that police officials had earlier clarified that in case of any cheque bounce, the matter would be reopened and legal action would follow.

After the cheque was dishonoured, Navneet Mohan approached the authorities again, demanding reopening of the case and strict action against the accused. Following a preliminary inquiry, the report was forwarded to the NRI Wing. Subsequently, the ADGP, NRI Wing, granted approval for registration of a fresh case.

Based on this approval, the NRI Police Station in Mohali has registered a case against Amarjit Singh under Sections 318(4) and 316(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Section 24 of the Immigration Act, 1983. Further investigation into the matter is currently underway.
