Anil Vij s residence in Ambala today, seeking justice in a case of alleged fraud of Rs. 25 lakhs by a firm in Barwala (Panchkula). Vij was addressing public grievances at his Ambala residence when the young man, a resident of Burkina Faso, put forth his complaint. The young man apprised that he needed a printing machine for his business and had contacted a firm in Barwala about procuring one. The firm showed him the machine and promised to arrange its export. The young man, unaware of the firm s intentions, paid them a total of Rs 25 lakhs in advance across various dates. However, neither the machine was exported nor was the money refunded. Home Minister promptly directed the Panchkula Police Commissioner to investigate the matter thoroughly. Similarly, a family from Rewari approached the Home Minister alleging negligence in the investigation of their brother s murder case. They apprised that only one accused had been arrested so far, and they demanded that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) be formed to expedite the investigation. Home Minister Anil Vij instructed the formation of an SIT headed by the SP Rewari to take charge of the case. In another case, a woman from Yamunanagar approached the Home Minister seeking justice in her son s alleged murder case. She expressed her suspicion that her son s death was a deliberate act disguised as a road accident. She requested the Home Minister s intervention to ensure a thorough investigation. Home Minister Anil Vij directed the Yamunanagar SP to form an SIT and investigate the matter diligently. Furthermore, a woman from Yamunanagar brought to the Home Minister s attention an immigration fraud case involving an agent from Barara, Ambala. She alleged that the agent had demanded Rs 25 lakhs to send her son to Canada. Instead of sending her son to Canada, the agent sent him to Cambodia, claiming that he would then proceed to Canada from there. The agent demanded additional funds for this arrangement, which she refused. Subsequently, her son returned home, and the agent absconded, closing his office and switching off his mobile phone. Home Minister Anil Vij instructed the SIT (immigration fraud) to investigate the matter promptly. In addition to these cases, the Home Minister also addressed various other grievances brought to his attention, including irregularities in meter reading reported by the former Sarpanch of Bada village in Ambala, correction of revenue records due to a land dispute with relatives raised by an Ambala resident, and a request for the arrest of an accused in an assault case from a Kurukshetra resident.
