A mother-daughter team in Punjab orchestrated a deceptive scheme targeting bachelors eager to emigrate to Canada. Pretending to arrange marriages with her daughter Harpreet, Sukhdarshan Kaur extracted large sums from victims seeking a new life abroad. Police uncovered the scam, identifying seven victims and arresting three suspects.
Authorities revealed that the duo's modus operandi involved using Harpreet's photos and videos to lure prospective grooms into believing they could marry and relocate. The scheme unraveled when a raid on a staged engagement exposed the deceit, with seven victims currently identified, many of whom paid hefty sums hoping to secure a marriage and subsequent migration.
