4 Punjabis stuck in Armenia return

Four Punjabis who were duped by travel agents and were stranded in Armenia for the past four months reached Punjab on Saturday evening.

A group of seven travel agents fraudulently sent Harmanjeet Singh of Nadala town, Jatinder Singh of Amritsar district, Shamsher Singh of Bholath and his wife Pinki to Armenia on a tourist visa in December last year after promising a work visa in exchange of ₹4 lakh each.

The four landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on Saturday morning where they were received by Sangrur MP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state president Bhagwant Mann. They had shared a video on the social media on February 2 seeking help from Mann.
