Canadian immigration fraud: 6 FIRs, no action on Brijesh Mishra
Jalandhar: Brijesh Mishra, arrested by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) in British Columbia on June 23 for allegedly defrauding hundreds of students by providing them fake offer letters, had 12 complaints against him in Punjab. Despite Brijesh Mishra being a Jalandhar-based travel agent, there was no formal FIR against him in the city before March even as two cases were filed against him in other cities
Of the 12 complaints filed between 2021 and 2023, six were turned into FIRs but the Jalandhar-based travel agent managed to evade arrest in connection with all of them. He came in the spotlight after the recent controversy over deportation of 700 Indian students from Canada.
The earliest complaints were filed against Mishra in Faridkot and Malerkotla between 2021 and 2022, respectively. After that, 10 complaints were filed in Jalandhar against Mishra and his associates. Six of these complaints were turned into FIRs. One FIR each was registered in Faridkot and Malerkotla in 2021 and 2022, and four in Jalandhar between March and May this year. In five of the complaints, compromise was struck by his accomplice Rahul Bhargav, who was arrested on March 24.
4 FIRs filed in Jalandhar on March
1 FIR in Malerkotla in 2022
