Karnal, Nov. 1 -- The Karnal police have registered two separate cases against immigration agents after two men from the district were allegedly harassed and thrashed in Tehran while attempting to reach Spain via Iran through the illegal "donkey route." Superintendent of police (SP) Ganga Ram Punia said the cases were filed at the Nigdhu and Karnal Sadar police stations. "We have received videos and contact numbers related to the incident, which have been forwarded to the concerned authorities to facilitate the safe rescue of both men. I once again urge youth and their families to opt for legal means to settle abroad and not risk their lives and money through illegal agents," he added. According to the police, agents also demanded ransom from the families of victims Ritik, 25, of Jamba village, and Pawan, 40, of Dadupur village. Ritik's brother Ankit said, "Ritik and Pawan came in contact with an agent who promised to send them to Spain." Earlier this week, 54 men from Haryana - including 16 from Karnal - were deported from the US for travelling illegally. SP Punia said no formal complaint had been received in that case so far. Meanwhile, a family from Mohna village in Kaithal district alleged that their son was killed by "donkers" in a South American country after they failed to pay ransom on time. The family of 18-year-old Yuvraj said three agents took Rs.40-41 lakh initially and later demanded another Rs.5 lakh. His father said they complained to cops in March. "A donker confirmed his death this week and arranged photos of the death certificate and his dead," the father said....
