The accused has been identified as Sanjay Sharma, a resident of Phase-1, Mohali. An FIR has been registered against him on the complaint of Yuvraj Singh, who resides in Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar, Ludhiana.

In his complaint, Yuvraj Singh stated that he had approached Sharma in hopes of securing permanent residency (PR) in Canada. Sharma, who claimed to be running a legitimate immigration firm, promised to arrange a visa and demanded Rs 25 lakh for the same. Singh said he paid the full amount but did not receive any visa or documentation in return.
