According to reports, in response to an advertisement, the victim had applied for a job in an industrial house. The trio asked the applicant to deposit Rs 52,000 in a bank account towards registration fees. The victim fell into their trap and deposited the amount but didn’t get the appointment letter as promised. Few days later, he was again asked to deposit Rs 15,000 to get the appointment letter.
Frustrated over the approach of the trio, the victim demanded his money back from them. But the frauds again demanded Rs 2,000 from him to get a refund of his money. Later, the victim lodged a police complaint following which the cops arrested the trio probing the number of people being duped by the fraudsters.
