CM Flying incharge Sunaina said she had received secret information that Khemchand was “luring unemployed youths with the promise of jobs in HKRN and committing a fraud”. A detailed probe confirmed that the accused had allegedly taken thousands of rupees from multiple people and even issued fake joining letters. It also emerged that he collected money from one person on the pretext of extending the validity and passing of his vehicle.

According to the inquiry report, the accused took Rs 19,000 from Ankit of Data village for a job and issued him a fake joining letter for Government Women College, Data, purportedly from the Higher Education Department, Panchkula. The letter was found to be “completely fake”. Pooja of Gurana village also paid Rs 25,000, and when she sought a refund after not receiving any job, the accused allegedly “threatened her with consequences”.

Similarly, Amit of Sisai village paid Rs 15,000 after being promised employment. When he reported at Primary School Sisai with the joining letter, it turned out to be forged. Rani from Hansi paid Rs 15,000 to secure a job for her son, while Mahavir of Satrod Khurd paid the same amount for a mali or Animal Attendant post, but neither received the promised job nor a refund.

The accused also allegedly cheated Ramkumar of Sisai village by taking Rs 54,000 under the pretext of extending the validity and passing of his vehicle. The investigation revealed that no such work was done and the money was not returned.
