Rajasthan's cyber crime unit detained a Gurgaon resident for allegedly running a job fraud scheme that swindled Rs 22 lakh.
The cyber crime wing of the Rajasthan police has taken a man from Gurgaon into custody on suspicion of orchestrating a job fraud that caused losses amounting to Rs 22 lakh. The suspect was apprehended after investigators linked him to fraudulent recruitment advertisements that promised lucrative positions but required upfront payments from job seekers.
According to the police, the scheme targeted individuals seeking employment and extracted money by claiming the fees were necessary for processing applications or securing visas. The total amount reportedly collected from victims adds up to Rs 22 lakh.
Authorities said the arrest is part of a broader crackdown on online employment scams that have risen in recent months. The investigation remains ongoing, and the accused will face charges under the Information Technology Act and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
The police have advised the public to exercise caution when responding to unsolicited job offers that demand payment, and to verify the authenticity of recruiters through official channels.
