Srinagar:
The owner of a travel agency in Srinagar who duped aspiring
pilgrims for this year's Haj to Saudi Arabia has been arrested.
Fabiyan Wahid Gilkar, the owner of Hajeej India travel agency, was
arrested in Rajasthan Sunday.
"We have brought him here today (Monday) and have taken him on
police remand for seven days to begin his custodial interrogation.
Our first priority is to recover the Rs.9 crore which Gilkar
swindled from aspiring pilgrims," Ashiq Hussain Bukhari, senior
superintendent of police (SSP) Srinagar, told IANS here.
Around 500 aspiring 'Hajis' could not go for pilgrimage despite
paying money to Hajeej India.
The duped pilgrims had been agitating since October this year
against the travel agents.
After an FIR was registered against the travel agency, its owner
Fabiyan Wahid Gilkar had gone into hiding.
