New Delhi: Delhi Police has arrested three men — an assistant bank manager, an MBA graduate and a B.Tech dropout — for allegedly running a scam that targeted job seekers with promises of high-paying jobs abroad. The investigation began after a southwest Delhi resident, who had lost his job during the Covid-19 pandemic, filed a complaint claiming he had been duped while seeking work overseas. According to police, the complainant received a message on social media from a group where a man posing as an overseas job consultant offered him a chef’s position in New Zealand. The accused allegedly demanded Rs 2.8 lakh for visa processing, and he ended up paying Rs 1.8 lakh before realising he had been cheated. “The amount had been deposited into a mule account at a private bank and then transferred into another account of the same bank,” said DCP (Southwest) Amit Goel. Police identified the first accused as Ketan Deepak Kumar, 24, a B.Tech (computer science) dropout from Anand, Gujarat, who worked as a travel agent. He was arrested in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, on Nov 9. Police seized the primary calling device that was used by him. Kumar’s disclosure led the investigators to Sanjib Mondal, 34, an MBA from Kolkata, who also worked as a travel agent. He allegedly posed as the consultant on social media, said police. Mondal was arrested in Kolkata on Nov 13. Police said the third accused, Ravi Kumar Mishra, 29, an assistant manager at a private bank in Gurgaon, was allegedly responsible for opening accounts under the guise of loan assistance that were later used as mule accounts. Mishra was given a commission for this by the other accused, they added. He was arrested in Gurgaon on Nov 17. Police have seized six mobile phones and two laptops. They have also recovered Rs 50,000 of the cheated money. Further investigation is underway.
