Police today booked two travel agents for allegedly duping a man of Rs 2 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad on work permit.
The travel agents are Sukhdev Singh of Khurala Kingra and Sukhpaul Singh of Phagwara, police said.
Police said that a case under IPC Section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) was registered yesterday against the duo on a complaint of Varinder Kumar, a resident of Nakodar.
