A case of cheating has been registered against the management of a travel agency based in Malad West, after its employees and clients complained they had been duped of lakhs of rupees.
The Bangur Nagar police said that 64 clients have come forward so far, complaining of being defrauded ofnearly Rs 38 lakh. No arrests have been made as per a TOI report.
The travel agency, Move Holidays, is owned by Karan Vyas and his wife, Akshata. The agency had a 200 sq feet office at Kemp Plaza in Malad. Police have slapped charges of cheating on the Vyas couple as well as the agency's country co-ordinator, Virendra Singh.
The travel agency, which was started a year ago, lured customers by placing advertisements on their website and in leading newspapers.
The agency offered holiday packages to Goa, Kerala, Thailand, Bangkok, Manali and Kashmir at throwaway prices. An employee of the agency told the police that some of them hadn't been given a month's salary, incentives and commission.
The employees then got in touch with some clients to see if the Vyas couple or Singh had established contact with them. "The clients realized they had been duped as well. 64 clients then approached the police, complaining that the accused had fled with payments made for travel packages," said the official.
