Nepalese Farmer Duped ₹5L in Chandigarh Visa Scam

A Nepalese farmer, Dhan Bahadur Sunar, and his friends were defrauded of ₹5 lakh in a scam involving fake work visas for Azerbaijan. The victims were lured by agents in Chandigarh who promised lucrative job opportunities abroad.

After collecting the money, the agents became untraceable, leaving the victims with neither visas nor jobs. The victims reported the incident to the Chandigarh police, who registered a case and initiated an investigation.

This scam highlights the vulnerability of individuals seeking better opportunities abroad and the prevalence of fraudulent schemes targeting them. The police are working to track down the culprits and recover the lost funds.

This case underscores the importance of verifying the legitimacy of agents and offers before making significant financial commitments. Authorities advise potential migrants to be cautious and seek assistance only from certified and reputable sources to avoid falling prey to such scams.
