Haryana: Anil Vij orders SIT probe against travel agent

Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij redressed the people’s grievances in Ambala on Saturday and directed the concerned officers to take action in various cases.

Vij asked the Sonipat Police Commissioner to investigate and take prompt action on a complaint filed by a guy who lives in the Ambala Cantonment Housing Board and claims he was scammed out of Rs 40 lakh in the name of sending his kid to America. He claimed that the agent informed them that he transfers young people abroad and works for an airline.

According to the man, after accepting the money, the agent handed his son a phony visa and ticket and detained him in Bangalore for two days. When he became suspicious, he demanded his money and papers returned, which the agent refused. Vij delegated the probe to the Special probe Team (SIT) formed to investigate immigration fraud and issued directives for action.

Vij was also asked to investigate another army personnel complaint. The army soldier, who works at Air Force Pathankot and lives in Kharkhoda, revealed that he and his wife are going through a divorce.

His wife lives with her parents and only a few days earlier forced her way into his house for two minutes. Following this, the wife went to the Kharkhoda police station and filed a rape and other charges against him.

The soldier claimed to have video and photos of his wife forcibly entering the residence. He said that the police were not paying attention to him. The Home Minister directed the Sonipat Police Commissioner to take action on the matter.

Similarly, numerous more complaints were brought to Vij’s attention, and he urged the concerned personnel to take action.
