In a significant breakthrough, the Cyber Police have arrested four individuals involved in a large-scale online job fraud. The accused were apprehended on Saturday, with the police seizing Rs42 lakh in unaccounted cash, 64 ATM cards, 21 SIM cards, two passports, and a laptop.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Shubham Sharma and Neeraj Gurjar from Madhya Pradesh, Deepak Kumar from Bihar, and Raj Gound from Uttar Pradesh. They are believed to have been operating an online job scam that deceived victims into paying fees for fake job opportunities.
According to the police, the accused used deceptive online ads and job offers to lure victims, asking them to pay advance fees for securing employment. Once the payment was made, the victims would receive no job or refund, while the fraudsters continued to collect payments from other unsuspecting individuals.
The seized ATM cards and SIM cards are believed to have been used in the illegal transactions, and the laptop is likely to contain critical information related to their fraudulent activities.
An investigation into the case is ongoing, and the police are working to uncover more details about the operations of this scam. The authorities have urged people to stay vigilant and avoid paying advance fees for any job opportunities that seem suspicious or unverified.
