A resident of Gujarat is accused of taking Rs 98 lakh from his son and niece after promising to secure Canadian permanent residency for them.
A man from Gujarat has been accused of defrauding his own son and niece of a total of Rs 98 lakh. The victims allege that the accused promised to obtain permanent residency in Canada for them in exchange for the payment.
The sum was collected after the promise of a Canadian PR, a highly sought‑after immigration status, was made. The son and niece claim they handed over the money in good faith, expecting the promised documentation and assistance.
Local police have opened an investigation into the matter. An FIR has reportedly been filed, and authorities are probing whether the accused misrepresented his ability to facilitate the immigration process.
If proven, the case could lead to charges of cheating and fraud under the Indian Penal Code, highlighting the growing concern over immigration‑related scams targeting Indian families.
