Taking advantage of a job advertisement in the metro, fraudsters duped a family of lakhs of rupees. The accused promised jobs on the basis of fake identity cards, batches, and appointment letters and defrauded a huge amount. Four years later, on the orders of the court, a case of cheating and fraud has been registered at the Daabri police station.
When the police did not take any action, the family members appealed to the court. Now after four years, following the court’s order, the Daabri police station has registered a case of fraud and cheating. The family hopes that the police will put the accused behind bars as soon as possible and they will get justice.
Chanchal lives with her family in Daabri area. They have a house in Bahadurgarh, Haryana.
Chanchal told that in 2020, a job advertisement was published in the metro. A person living in the neighbourhood of her house in Bahadurgarh told that a person named Kartik can get her daughter a job in the metro. On talking to Kartik living in Bahadurgarh on the phone, he assured to get the daughter a job and told that three lakh rupees will have to be paid for this. Chanchal told that she has arranged two lakh rupees by taking a loan.
On 8 January 2020, Karthik came to the victim’s house with two other people. Both of them introduced themselves as Metro employees. After that, Karthik got a Metro form signed. After that, he took two lakh rupees.
Kartik told Chanchal that her daughter’s verification has been done. She will get the Metro appointment letter after a few days. He said that he will take the remaining one lakh rupees after getting the appointment letter. On enquiring after a few days, the accused sent her Metro identity card and badge on her WhatsApp. He also asked her to send the girl’s police verification copy. After that, he sent one of his associates and asked her to give the remaining amount.
The victim’s family transferred the money online to his partner’s bank account. The accused then sent them an appointment letter and asked them to visit an address in Laxmi Nagar. Chanchal along with her daughter reached the address but there was no office there. When they called, Kartik started making excuses.
Later it was found out that all the documents sent by him were fake. The victim’s family pressured him to return the money. After that the accused gave three cheques. All the cheques bounced. When the victim’s family complained about this in Daabri police station, no action was taken by the police for six months, the victim’s family appealed to the court to register a case.
