The city crime branch on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old girl, identified as Kirti Kushwaha, from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly duping a city-based youth on the pretext of providing him a job in a leading bank, and inducing him to pay money for the same. The arrested woman owns a placement company in Ghaziabad.
According to the police, the victim (name withheld) had uploaded his bio-data on a job search website to get a job in a bank. On November 11 last year, the victim got a call on his phone from an unknown number. The caller, who identified herself as Pooja Yadav, informed the victim that there was a vacancy in a leading private bank.
Yadav asked the victim to email scanned images of his PAN card, Voting card and passport on email ID banklist995@yahoo.in. He was also asked to deposit a registration fee in a bank account number provided to him.
"The victim followed these instructions. He was again asked to pay money in the name of document verification charges. The victim got suspicious, made inquiries with the bank in which he was promised a job, and learnt that there were no openings. The victim was told that the candidates are selected on merit basis through an entrance exam and money need not be paid as a part of the procedure," said an officer from cyber crime police station (CCPS).
The victim then lodged a complaint with CCPS at BKC on November 13.
"Investigation revealed that the email was sent from Kushwaha's office at Pratap Vihar in Ghaziabad. When we got details of the bank account in which the money was deposited, it turned out to be that of a firm named M/s Career Development, which is owned by Kushwaha with another partner. Also, the email ID linked with the bank account given by Kushwaha was banklist995@yahoo.in," the officer added.
A police team went to UP and arrested Kushwaha, who has been booked on charges of cheating and forgery under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act.
