In Ichoda, Telangana, a 28-year-old man named Anil Kumar from Gochipatulu, Ranga Reddy district, was arrested for scamming ₹2 lakh from a job seeker. Kumar, who works in a consultancy in Amarapet, had lured the victim with promises of a job in Singapore. He sent fake job offer letters via WhatsApp to convince the victim, who was undergoing coaching in Hyderabad.
The victim, after paying ₹2 lakh, realized the job offer was fake when the promised appointment letter never arrived. Frustrated and deceived, the victim approached the police, leading to Kumar’s arrest.
The Ichoda Police, led by Inspector V. Praveen Kumar, confirmed the arrest. "The fraudster was arrested after the victim lodged a complaint," said Praveen Kumar. The case highlights the growing issue of digital fraud, where scammers exploit job seekers’ aspirations with fake job offers and fabricated documents.
