Maharashtra Police Investigate Multiple Fake Government Job Fraud Cases
Two separate fraud cases in Maharashtra involved individuals cheating families and a man of over Rs 1.38 crore by promising government jobs. In Mumbai, seven families lost Rs 68.5 lakh after being assured of appointments through alleged influential contacts in the Mantralaya.

Police investigations are ongoing to identify further victims and the source of forged government materials.
