Two travel agents were booked for duping a man of Rs 2.50 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad, police said on Sunday.
Ajay Kumar, a resident of Nakodar, and Ravikaran Singh, a resident of Gurdaspur, were booked on the complaint of Jaskirat Singh, a resident of local Khalwara Gate here.
The complainant claimed that he gave the amount to the duo for a visa to Australia.
He was given a visa for Australia, which was later found to be fake, said police.
A case under relevant sections of the IPC had been registered against the accused, police said.
