Paldi Woman Accuses Immigration Firm of Rs 10 Lakh Fraud Over UK Student Visa
A resident of Paldi, Ahmedabad, has filed a complaint against an immigration consultancy firm, alleging that the firm defrauded her family of over Rs 10 lakh. The complaint, lodged with the Satellite police station, details that the family sought the firm's services in 2024 to secure a UK student visa for her 23-year-old son. The consultancy allegedly promised admission to a university in Birmingham and guided the student through the application process. The family transferred Rs 10.07 lakh for admission and visa-related expenses, trusting the firm's assurances. However, after the student failed an online interview, the firm promised a refund within 90 days, which was never received. The employee handling the case reportedly left the firm, and his phone was switched off, prompting the family to suspect fraud. The police have registered a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust and are investigating the matter.
