The Machhiwara police in Ludhiana district, Punjab, India, have filed charges against Jashanpreet Kaur and her father Ajitpal Singh for allegedly duping Gurdeep Singh's family of approximately ₹22 lakh (roughly $26,600 USD). Gurdeep Singh reported that his son, Gaganjot Singh, married Jashanpreet on November 13, 2022. Following the marriage, the bride's family pressured Gurdeep's family to finance Jashanpreet's study visa for Canada, assuring them that she would later bring Gaganjot to Canada on a spouse visa. The family complied, transferring significant amounts directly into the bank accounts of Jashanpreet and her parents. However, after Jashanpreet moved to Canada, she returned to India in 2024 without going to her in-laws' house, stating her primary goal was to live abroad. The police registered an FIR after investigating the allegations made by Gurdeep Singh.
