The Bangalore-based company ie4u Global has been accused by a Gandhinagar resident and several others of defrauding them of Rs 79.3 lakh in a police complaint. The complainants were offered UK visas by the firm in exchange for large sums of money, but the visas never arrived. With no reimbursement, the business later closed its Ahmedabad office.
Bhargav Limbachiya, a 22-year-old resident of Gandhinagar’s Kalol, revealed that he discovered the business a year ago when looking into ways to obtain a UK visa on social media. With directors Juhal Siraj and Shrijis P Shankaran, the main ie4u global branch is situated in Bangalore. At Iconic Shyamal Office No. 1110 in Satellite, its Ahmedabad branch office promised Limbachiya a UK visa in 45 days for a Rs 20 lakh cost.
According to reports, Visnagar resident Mitesh Patel paid Rs 25 lakh, while Kheda resident Dharmendrakumar Solanki paid Rs 16.3 lakh. Ahmedabad resident Vishal Patel allegedly paid the questionable company Rs 3 lakh, while Atif Sheikh allegedly paid Rs 16 lakh. Shankaran and Juhal Siraj were accused by the victims of planning the scam.
At first, Limbachiya gave the company a cheque for Rs 3 lakh. At the directors’ request, he then transferred the remaining Rs 17 lakh through bank transactions. When the company continued to postpone his visa, Limbachiya complained and requested a refund in February of this year. But by July, the company had barely reimbursed Rs 1 lakh. In addition to Limbachiya, four more individuals came forward with comparable stories about the same firm.
