No ticket: Three men accused of defrauding woman

LAHORE:

An additional district and sessions judge on Monday sought comments from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) director general on a petition seeking registration of a case against three people for defrauding a handicapped woman by promising to send her abroad.

Ayesha, the petitioner, told the judge Yasir, his brother Salman and their sister Sarwat had taken Rs1.6 million from her to send her to Canada. She said they had not fulfilled their promise and refused to return the money. She said they had warned her of “dire consequences” whenever she asked for the money. She requested the court to direct the authorities to register a case against the suspects.
