April 7, 2025 at 8:20 pmReceived a call from police that a visa consultancy company has raised a complaint regarding defamation (Google review) and now they are calling me to come to police station even though I deleted the review.Last year, I was about to file h1b visa with 6 lakhs charges with some X company in this case but I dropped in last minute due to some health issues. People in our whats app group called me after 4-6months that consultancy owner did a big fraud and they all lost 6 lakhs and lucky that I didn’t pay.
So I posted a negative Google review mentioning consultancy owner name so that other people will not loose their hard earned money (which created a headache for myself now).
Police said if I don’t visit the station soon, the complaint may get registered into a case.
I spoke to group of people (who paid for h1b) for support and all of them backed off saying they won’t any trouble as they already lost 6 lakhs
All I have is voice call recordings of those people who said that they lost 6 lakhs.
I need suggestions how to handle this.

April 7, 2025 at 8:38 pmGoogle review are not sufficient evidence for defamation. It depends on what you said in the review. Civil defamation not to worry too much. If it’s a criminal defamation- you can ask others who got cheated to put a 420 case on consulting company. Keep in mind it’s against the law for a company in US to ask for visa fees from employees, you can figure the registration name of this company in US.Then put a complaint on Department of Labor and DHS and USCIS website saying this company and its owners are committing visa fraud and asking beneficiaries or employees money 💰 and exploiting them.
Their world will come crashing down. Good luck

April 7, 2025 at 8:46 pmIn review, I mentioned (“owner of X consultancy is fraud and lot of people said that they have lost their money because of this guy. He doesn’t respond to calls after taking money)Any way, the company is registered in India to handle h1b application and one other company registered in US (as informed by the consultancy owner to show that he is hiring employees from India through contract payroll of PayPal etc)

April 7, 2025 at 9:21 pmI don’t think a private company is subject to RTI. (Unless maybe if it’s partly owned by govt or by a public servant.)-

April 7, 2025 at 8:49 pmYou didn’t mention these details in your previous post.High chance that the SI is hands-in-gloves with the company and they want to extort money from you given they have excuse to scare you and know you have 6 lakhs laying around.
Message the other people in your WhatsApp group about the details of the scam.
Call them, pretend you cannot hear them and then text. Just somehow get them to confess in writing that they were scammed.-

April 7, 2025 at 8:52 pmI have call recordings of people mentioning that he is fraud and they lost money because of him. Only one text message in what’s app saying that he is fraud. Now that the our group knows that police is involved, they are little scared-

April 7, 2025 at 9:08 pmLike I replied to you under your other post, if it isn’t too far away then visit.If you can’t send someone on you behalf, try to take someone with you.
Highly unlikely something will happen if you go alone but it depends upon the area and the police station..

April 8, 2025 at 12:09 amHi. Delhi based lawyer here. It’s not defamation if it’s the truth and can be corroborated with evidence, so you pretty much fall under that exception. Can discuss at length.-

April 11, 2025 at 8:00 pmShe has no way to prove that it’s the truth. She wasn’t the one who got scammed and the ones who did get scammed don’t want to get involved. -

April 15, 2025 at 6:54 pmHow can their forcefully make you write just anything! Was your lawyer available at that point in time? Please ask your lawyer to take a stand for you to the extent possible, and you must go tomorrow if you’re being called. But try not to give in to any unreasonable demands, unless really necessary. Which city are you in?-

April 15, 2025 at 6:58 pmMy lawyer was not with me when I went. My friend gave me false confidence that he knows ACP and he will resolve the matter but he stood mum infront of opposition party when they were using foul language, shouting and intimidating me that they will file a case and made me write a letter. Police guy left me infront of opposite party and went out. I am in Hyderabad-

April 15, 2025 at 7:15 pmThen please suggest me what to do tomorrow. My lawyer is setting up a meeting with opposite party tomorrow. I am not sure whether it’s outside or at police station. I am worried whether opposite party has influenced my lawyer with money. I am worried whether I should go or not-

April 15, 2025 at 7:24 pmIf you don’t have faith in your lawyer, you won’t be able to sit there with confidence. May be take a day or two to decide how to take the meeting forward, and then do it, once you’re clear in your head. Till then you can take multiple opinions may be, or do whatever satisfies you enough to take the right call.-

April 15, 2025 at 7:27 pmNot sure of the influence exerted by the other party, plus don’t know what all has transpired so far, so reluctant to advise like that.

April 16, 2025 at 4:59 pmI spoke to a new lawyer today as my old lawyer is not suggesting anything properly. The new lawyer has asked me to make a complaint in another nearby PS saying that the other party has forced me to write a letter outside the police station. I said police station has cctv recordings right where I wrote the letter and he said it’s okay it doesn’t matter so I am not sure whether to do like that or not-

April 8, 2025 at 2:47 amNALBut in my opinion if a policeman calls you then it most probably is a scam.
Also you are absolutely free to post anything on Google reviews.
And even if the company wants to sue you wouldn’t it send you a lawyer notice first? Why would a cop call you?
Everything seems sus.

April 8, 2025 at 2:59 amWithout giving you too much of Gyaan…..You never had a first hand experience of the cheating, still you went ahead wrote against the company…… the people who were cheated by this company could have written about it themselves..
In my opinion you should go to police station and tell them that you are sorry and would like to solve this amicably with the company itself.

April 8, 2025 at 3:05 amYes. I am ready to resolve it amicably but not sure what they have put in the complaint letter. Cop said defamation but I only put one review that’s all and deleted later. I spoke to all other guys who got cheated and they said they have put review from different Google accounts instead of their own accounts
