On Wednesday, police registered a case against two individuals for allegedly deceiving multiple job seekers of Rs33.2 lakhs by promising employment opportunities abroad.
The accused, identified as Prabhu from Ondipudur and his associate James, were booked after a complaint was filed by P. Nagarajan, a 32-year-old resident of Mullai Nagar near Podanur.
The victims were lured with fake job offers for overseas employment, resulting in significant financial losses. Authorities have initiated an investigation to further probe the scam.
