Amandeep Singh, an immigration agent from Jalandhar, was arrested in connection with a nine-year-old case of defrauding visa seekers under the pretext of sending them abroad. The police had announced a reward of ₹10,000 for his arrest, which was fulfilled after he had been on the run for nearly a decade.
According to Sriganganagar Superintendent of Police Gaurav Yadav, the fraud case was initially filed at the Padampur police station in 2016. Amandeep Singh, a resident of Pandori Nijra village in Adampur, had moved to the Farm Royal Society in Jalandhar before going into hiding after the case was registered.
During his time as a fugitive, Singh is believed to have concealed his whereabouts in various cities, including those in Gujarat, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. His arrest marks the culmination of a long investigation, bringing closure to the case and justice to the victims who were defrauded of lakhs of rupees.
