More than a month after four members of a family from Gujarat s Mehsana district died while trying to cross into the US from Canada, the Mehsana police have lodged an FIR against three agents allegedly involved in the illegal immigration racket, an official said on Thursday.
Chaudhary, a resident of Manekpur village in Vijapur taluka here, on Sunday said his brother, sister-in-law and their two children had left for Canada two months ago on a visitors visa.
The family of four - a couple and their two adult children - from Gujarat were among the eight people who were killed allegedly while trying to illegally cross into the United States from Canada. aaa
A family of four from a village in Mehsana district was among the eight people who had drowned in a river on the Quebec-New York border while they were illegally trying to enter the US from Canada by boat.
Canadian police have named two of the eight people, including four Indians, whose bodies were found in a marshland area along the US-Canada border, amid an investigation into the circumstances of their deaths. A family in the Mehsana district in Gujarat believes the Indians who were among the eight who died while trying to cross into the United States of America from Canada recently are their kin.
