Bilaspur, Apr 24 (PTI) Two persons have been booked for allegedly duping a youth of Rs 20 lakhs on the pretext of arranging a student visa for overseas studies, police said on Friday.
In his complaint, Nishant Thakur, a resident of Hamirpur district, alleged that two accused, Abhishek Kumar Sharma and Munish Sharma, both of Bilaspur, took Rs 20,41,364 and promised him a study visa.
Instead of providing him with the study visa, he alleged that both the accused used the money to purchase a vehicle.
He further alleged that the accused forged fake documents in his name to obtain a loan, and his bank account was misused, causing him significant financial loss.
Acting swiftly, police registered a case against the accused and initiated the investigation. Bilaspur SP Sandeep Dhawal confirmed the development and said that an investigation is underway. PTI COR SHS SHS
