Punjab: Lookout circular against Canada-based NRI, son in fake crypto currency scam

Trouble has deepened for Canada-based NRI Jagman Samra, already facing an FIR for allegedly posting an objectionable, AI-generated video on social media. The Ludhiana police have now issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) against him and his son Harkirat Singh in connection with a fake cryptocurrency and human trafficking racket registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Ludhiana.

According to police officials, four of Samra’s close associates — Parmel Singh, Gurpreet Singh Chahal, Kartik Mittal, and Bachittar Singh — have been arrested. Commissioner of police Swapan Sharma confirmed the arrests and said the LOC was issued as both Samra and his son are believed to be in Canada.
