A visa agent has been arrested by the Ahmedabad Crime Branch following the tragic suicide of a 19-year-old youth from Mehsana district, who was allegedly duped out of Rs 29 lakh with false promises of overseas employment.
The victim, a resident of Vijapur Taluka, is believed to have taken his own life after realizing he had been defrauded. His family alleged that the accused, identified as Dharmik Patel, had assured him of a work visa abroad in exchange for a hefty payment.
