Odisha Man Arrested for Alleged Rs 21 Lakh Railway Job FraudPreviousNext

A 45-year-old man, Gadadhar Nath from Odisha's Cuttack district, was arrested for allegedly cheating a job seeker of Rs 21 lakh by promising a railway loco pilot post. The accused provided forged job offer and joining letters from Eastern Railway. After the fraud was discovered, the complainant confronted Nath, who initially agreed to refund the money but failed to do so, leading to police complaints and his arrest. Authorities are investigating if others were similarly duped.
