Ahmedabad: The owner of a tour operating firm has filed a complaint with Satellite police alleging cheating and misuse of the company’s goodwill in a booking fraud. The complainant stated that an associate, who earlier worked on a commission basis, allegedly diverted customer payments by linking a QR code to a separate bank account while displaying the firm’s name. Customers believed they were paying the company, but funds were routed elsewhere. The fraud came to light when clients sought refunds for cancelled flight bookings. The complainant claimed losses of over Rs 33 lakh and alleged breach of trust. Police have initiated an investigation.
