Two men have been arrested in southeast Delhi for allegedly duping 20 persons of Rs 20 lakh on the pretext of providing them work visa, police said today.
Kamal Ahmed Khan and his son Sarfaraz Ahmed Khan were arrested from their office in Sarai Julena village on September 6, DCP (Southeast) Mandeep Singh Randhawa said.
Dhirender Kumar Yadav and three others filed a complaint at New Friends Colony police station alleging they along with 16 others were duped of Rs 20 lakh by Khan and his son who ran a placement agency named Globe Placement and Hospitality Services, he said.

The accused had allegedly lured the complainants and their family members with the promise of arranging a work visa for Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia along with air tickets, Randhawa said, adding the victims were asked to deposit Rs 1 lakh per person.
