Three individuals, Faiyaz Khan, Mustaq Siddiqui, and Vishwanath Pratap Singh, were arrested by the police in Delhi-NCR for their involvement in a large-scale job scam. The accused, who were hiding in the Uttam Nagar area, ran a fraudulent placement agency in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, promising international job placements and visa services to their victims.
According to the police, the scammers duped several people out of a total of Rs 1.5 to 2 crore. After collecting the money, the agency’s owners shut down their operations and fled, while holding on to the passports of some of the victims. This prompted the victims to file a police complaint in Jamshedpur on December 17, leading to a thorough investigation.
Sanjay Sain, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), confirmed that Jharkhand police shared information with them, suggesting that the accused were likely attempting to flee the country and may be hiding in Delhi-NCR. Acting on this tip-off, officers conducted a technical analysis and gathered photographs of the suspects, which led them to execute a raid in Uttam Nagar, resulting in the arrest of the three individuals.
