Haldwani, Oct. 6 -- Nainital police have registered a case against a 39-year-old man accused of extorting Rs.7 lakh from a family on the pretext of arranging a Canadian student visa, police said on Sunday. According to the complaint by Sanjay Monga, a resident of Eco Town on Rampur Road in Haldwani, came into contact with the accused Shivam Singh, who allegedly claimed to run a consultancy firm named Shairik International and assured the family that he could secure a Canadian student visa within six to eight months for the complainant's son Harshit Monga(25), who was planning to pursue a hotel management course in Canada. "The incident dates back to 2020. Believing him, Sanjay paid a total of Rs.7 lakh, including Rs.1 lakh borrowed from a bank.
