ARPORA: A woman from Ramnagar, Karnataka, has lodged a complaint alleging that she and her husband were cheated of Rs 1,00,230 by representatives of GOII Vacation Private Limited through a holiday package scheme.
According to the complaint, lodged on October 29, 2026, at 8.43 pm, the incident dates back to September 7, 2026, when an unidentified male marketing representative of the company allegedly approached the complainant through a promotional scratch card activity at TNK, Arpora, Bardez.
The representative allegedly induced the complainant and her husband, Mohammed Nayaz Ulla, to attend a holiday package presentation at Lemon Tree Hotel, Arpora.
During the presentation, accused Badriddin Kamal Khan, a sales representative of GOII Vacation Private Limited, allegedly used high-pressure sales tactics and misleading information to induce the couple to purchase a holiday package.
Following the presentation, the complainant allegedly paid a total of Rs 1,00,230 towards the package. The amount included Rs 67,000 through an ICICI Bank credit card, Rs 28,230 through a YES Bank credit card and Rs 5,000 in cash.
The complainant further alleged that despite seeking a refund, the company failed to return the amount. Subsequently, accused Gaurish Shirodkar, owner/director of the company, reportedly issued a cheque towards settlement of the payment. However, the cheque was returned unpaid with the reason “Payment stopped by the drawer”.
The complainant has alleged that all three accused persons, acting with common intention, cheated her of Rs 1,00,230.
Further investigation is being carried out by PSI Navneet Goltekar of Anjuna Police Station.
