Job Cheating Racket Busted, 150 Aspirants Cheated in Jhalawar
In a place called Jhalawar in India, the police caught some people they say were tricking job seekers.
The accused people promised others that they could get them government jobs.
They said they could arrange work in offices, hospitals, and schools.
Before doing anything, they asked the job seekers to pay them money.
Each person paid between 30,000 and 50,000 rupees.
Around 150 people reportedly fell for this trick.
Someone who was tricked went to the police and filed a complaint.
The police watched the suspects and then arrested two men.
The police also found fake documents and proof of the money being paid.
If someone got a job on their own, the tricksters even asked them for more money, claiming they had helped.
Police in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district busted a racket allegedly cheating around 150 job aspirants.
Two accused, Abdul Rauf (55) and Saddam (35), both residents of Jhalawar, were arrested.
The gang collected advance payments of Rs 30,000 to 50,000 per candidate by promising government jobs, contractual employment, and inter-departmental transfers.
The arrests followed a complaint at the Kotwali police station on Friday; the racket was busted on Monday.
If a candidate secured a job on their own merit, the gang allegedly claimed credit and extorted the remaining agreed amount.
