Travel agent defrauds tourist
In a shocking incident, 36 tourists from Nashik, who had planned a trip to Kullu Manali, were abandoned at Chandigarh airport by their travel agent. The suspect, Rajeev Madanlal Chanda (40, residing at Omkar Heights, Indiranagar, Nashik), fled after taking money from the tourists, leaving them stranded.
A case of fraud amounting to ₹4 lakhs has been registered against Rajeev Chanda at the Ambad Police Station. According to the complaint filed by Shubhangi Hemant Badgujar (residing at Shakuntala Heights, Janak Nagri, Kamthwade), the agent had organised a four-day trip from Nashik to Kullu Manali and back, scheduled between January 12 and February 15.
For this trip, 36 tourists, including Shubhangi, registered and paid a total of ₹5,33,000 to Rajeev Chanda. This amount covered air travel, hotel bookings, and meals. On January 12, the tourists were flown from Mumbai to Chandigarh by the agent. However, upon reaching Chandigarh airport, the agent disappeared. The tourists then discovered that no hotel bookings had been made as promised.
The stranded tourists had to bear the entire trip expenses themselves to return to Nashik. Further investigation into the matter is being conducted by the authorities.
