Four Indians - three men and a woman - stranded in Armenia returned home to India on Saturday. They had uploaded a video on social media two days ago, requesting Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) parliamentarian Bhagwant Mann to bring them back, following which the Ministry of External Affairs had directed its embassy in Armenia to help them return home.
The four of them were received by Mann at the IGI Airport in Delhi on Saturday. They were allegedly defrauded by a travel agent and were sent to Armenia on tourist visa after promising work visa.
On Thursday, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had tweeted about the plight of four Indians from Punjab. The external affairs minister said the Indian ambassador in Armenia had reached them and was providing all help and assistance.
Later in the day, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had assured Swaraj that appropriate action would be taken against the travel agents accused of sending them to Armenia fraudulently.
Singh told Swaraj that a case had already been registered by the state police in the matter. ".@SushmaSwaraj ji a case has already been registered and I've instructed the @DGPPunjabPolice to take appropriate action against the suspects immediately. Will keep you informed," the chief minister tweeted.
Swaraj also spoke to the chief minister and asked him to apprehend the travel agents concerned. "He (Singh) has promised immediate action in the matter," she added.
Later in the Day, the Punjab Police arrested a travel agent in Kapurthala. 27-year-old Komaldeep of Jandiala in Amritsar was working as a middleman for an Armenia-based agent in Kapurthala and its surrounding areas.
The Kapurthala police has booked six people, including the Armenia-based travel agent, for allegedly fraudulently sending the four men to Armenia on tourist visa last December after promising work visa.
On the basis of the statements by the family members of the trapped persons, the Punjab police has registered two FIRs -- one under Section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code and another under the Punjab Prevention of Human Smuggling Act, 2012.
