The Rajasansi police have booked two persons, including a woman, for allegedly duping a Tarn Taran resident of Rs 28 lakh on the pretext of sending him to Canada.

However, the suspects neither sent him to Canada nor returned the money.

A probe was conducted and a case under sections 420 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 13 of the Punjab Travel Professionals Regulation Act was registered against them.

The police said investigation was being carried out in the matter and efforts were on to arrest the suspects.
