Authorities in New Delhi dismantled a job fraud operation centered on a spurious NIA identity document, leading to the custody of a cunning young deceiver. The suspect was seized from a dubious vehicle parked by Delhi Chalo Park, adjacent to Lal Qila, by alert Kotwali police.
Traveling with him was a minor lured from an underprivileged Kashmir family. The boy was swiftly placed back with relatives, averting further exploitation.
The smoking gun: a sham NIA card, debunked in hours. NIA spokespersons confirmed they produce no equivalent IDs. This prop empowered the scammer to project power, convincing targets of his ability to broker official employments.
Preliminary grilling exposed the scheme—he had squeezed advance cash from the family by pledging Delhi gigs. The pair touched down February 12, basing at a guesthouse near Jama Masjid amid his fruitless ‘networking’ charade.
Evading progress, his movements grew erratic, inviting scrutiny. Questioning unearthed glaring lies and forgeries.
Legal action under fraud and falsification statutes is in motion, bolstered by joint efforts from intel wings and specialized units. The investigation expands to quantify his tally of dupes. This case amplifies warnings against unverified job offers, a growing peril for India’s job-hungry youth.
