Four hundred pilgrims cheated on the day of Bhai Beej while going to Haridwar

According to a report by Sandesh, around 400 devotees going on a pilgrimage to Haridwar from Surendranagar and surrounding areas have been heavily cheated by travels operators. This entire incident took place on the holy festival day of Bhai Beej.

The travels operators had collected a substantial amount of about ₹4,200 online from each person and lured people into taking them to Haridwar, but at the scheduled time the operators went back on their word. As the pilgrimage was planned, pilgrims had been sitting and waiting for the bus with their luggage and bags since early morning.

When the bus did not arrive for a long time and passengers called the numbers of the responsible travels operators, all the phones came switched off, due to which passengers realized that they had been cheated. With faith being tampered with on a festival day, the happiness of the pilgrims turned into sorrow and their families fell into worry.

Following this incident, a large number of elders, women and youth rushed to the Surendranagar A Division police station with luggage and bags. People showed massive anger regarding this cheating done in the name of religion, while the police have registered a complaint in this matter and started further investigation.
