The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested Masivulla Ativulla Khan (36), a Mumbai-based man accused of orchestrating a massive overseas job offer scam that defrauded multiple victims of over Rs1.82 crore.
According to police, Khan operated an unauthorized overseas job placement company, falsely promising job opportunities abroad to unsuspecting candidates. The firm lacked necessary government approvals and licenses required for international recruitment.
Victims were lured with fake promises of employment in reputed overseas companies, with each reportedly paying substantial amounts as “processing fees” or “job placement charges.” Once payments were made, no jobs were provided, and contact was cut off.
The scam came to light after several complaints were filed. Following an investigation, Khan was tracked down and arrested by CCB officials. He is currently being interrogated, and police say more arrests could follow.
