Ahmedabad Man Alleges Rs 24.75 Lakh Fraud Over UK Visa Promise by Ex-Colleague CouplePreviousNext

A man in Ahmedabad was allegedly cheated of Rs 24.75 lakh by his ex-colleague Nikita Soni and her husband Raj Soni, who promised to arrange a UK visa with a work permit. The victim, Nipam, paid the amount in instalments over about a year after assurances that the visa would be secured or the money refunded. Despite attending an interview and receiving a job letter, the visa never materialised. Police have registered a case and are investigating the accused's financial records and visa documents.
