A travel agency based in Puttur has been accused of cheating a youth and illegally sending him to Myanmar after promising him employment in Thailand.
According to a complaint filed at Puttur Town Police Station, Hussain (42), a resident of Someshwar near Ullal, alleged that Illiyas and Yash, owners of Golden Travels, assured his pre-university pass-out son Haimad Razak of a job at a gaming company in Thailand.
Believing their claims, Hussain paid Rs1.5 lakh to the travel firm towards visa processing and other related expenses. However, instead of being sent to Thailand as promised, the youth was allegedly sent to Myanmar, raising serious concerns about fraud and human trafficking.
Police have taken cognisance of the complaint and initiated an investigation to verify the claims, examine travel documents, and determine the role of the accused in the alleged overseas job scam.
