[RxPG] Jalandhar, April 19 - The travel agent responsible for arranging to send Punjab resident Paramjeet Kaur with Bharatiya Janata Party - MP Babubhai Katara to Canada by posing as his wife fled his village here Thursday even as Punjab Police booked him for cheating.

Joginder Singh went underground Thursday after questioning by the media for his suspected role in human trafficking. He maintained that he had no role in sending Paramjeet with the MP to Canada.

Katara was caught in Delhi as he was boarding an Air India flight to Toronto with Paramjeet Kaur and a youth, Amarjit Singh, posing as the MP's wife and son. They were being taken by him on the diplomatic passports of Katara's wife and son.

The family of Paramjeet, however, claimed that it was Joginder who approached them to send her to Canada and later to United States. The travel agent lives in a palatial house on the outskirts of their village Feroze Sanghowal in Kapurthala district.

A Punjab Police team visited the house of Paramjeet in the village, 70 km from here, and questioned the family members regarding her illegal immigration.

'He promised us that he would ensure that Paramjeet would reach US through Canada to join her husband who has been living there for nearly eight years now,' Paramjeet's mother Mohinder Kaur told reporters at her residence in Feroze Sanghowal.

The family maintained that Paramjeet was innocent and only wanted to be with her husband.

Other villagers too sympathised with the family saying that going abroad was a trend in Punjab's Doaba belt comprising districts of Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur and Nawanshahr.

Mohinder Kaur spoke with the travel agent who sought her forgiveness and even urged her to save him from the police.

'He was known to us being from the same village. He told us that it would cost Rs.3 million. We paid him Rs.110,000 and said that the rest would be paid only when she reached US,' Mohinder Kaur said.

Paramjeet was Thursday sent by a Delhi court to five days in police custody.
