A complaint has been registered against three operators of a visa consulting agency for duping a Vadodara-based teacher of over ₹16 lakhs.

Narendra Mahar, a resident of Parishram Park in Vadodara’s Gorwa said that he contacted Bhumi Purohit of I-Square International agency on social media from an advertisement posted by her. The advertisement mentioned details regarding passport processing of Canada.

Bhumi and her brother Ankit Purohit claimed that they work in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, and demanded money ahead of passport printing. The complainant paid a total of ₹16.49 lakhs out of total ₹23 lakhs demanded. 

However, even after paying the amount, no process was initiated by the accused.

Mahar was also introduced to Soham Patel, claimed to be an employee of the Ahmedabad office, but Mahar did not get any leads. The office is now inoperational.

Gotri police have registered a case against Bhumi and Ankit Purohit (residents of Undera Road, Vadodara) and Soham Patel (resident of KK Nagar, Ahmedabad).
