involving a Rs41 lakh scam linked to Canada. The case centers on her daughter, Kiran Kaur, who was sent to Canada on a student visa in March 2023 and allegedly abandoned her husband after arriving there.
Kiran married Sarabjit Singh from Ugoke village, Barnala, around three years ago. Her family promised Sarabjit’s parents that if they financed Kiran’s education and relocation to Canada, she would sponsor Sarabjit’s permanent residency and work permit.
Trusting this, Sarabjit’s family spent Rs41 lakh covering Kiran’s student visa, tuition fees, travel, and settlement expenses. Kiran moved to Canada in March 2023, and five months later, Sarabjit joined her. The family also alleges that Kiran used their money to bring her brother to Canada.
The couple lived together briefly, but tensions arose when Kiran allegedly separated from Sarabjit, began demanding more money, and threatened to have him arrested. Fearing deportation and legal trouble, Sarabjit is now reportedly hiding in Canada.
An FIR was filed last month at Sehna police station against five accused, including Kiran, Nirmal Kaur, and other family members under sections 420 (cheating), 120-B (criminal conspiracy), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
Sehna police, led by SHO Gurminder Singh, are conducting raids to apprehend the other accused who remain at large. The investigation is ongoing.
