I felt terrified while staying in Spain as I was living on a single sheet of paper which stated that I had applied for the renewal of my visa. Representatives of The Internationally agency deserted me when I needed them the most,” said 21-year-old Suyash Agarwal, an undergraduate student. The youth, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, claims the agency duped him Rs 16.5 lakh after promising to facilitate his admission to a medical institution without him having to take an entrance exam.
The matter came to light when a 28-year-old doctor approached the Dongri police station to register an FIR against The Internationally for duping him of Rs 15 lakh using the same modus operandi. Following this, the Indian embassy in Spain issued an advisory. One of the accused, Vivek Kumar, had convinced Agarwal’s family that Suyash would secure a seat in a medical institution in Spain without taking entrance examinations or undergoing the proper documentation process.
