Seven Arrested in Delhi for Operating Fake Placement Agency Targeting Job Seekers
Delhi police arrested seven individuals for running a fake placement agency in Uttam Nagar that duped job seekers by posing as HR executives. Victims were lured through online job portals, asked to pay registration fees ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,800, and promised refunds after employment, which never materialized. The case emerged after a complaint from a Karol Bagh resident, leading to a police investigation involving digital payment and phone record analysis before the arrests.
