Gurugram man duped of Rs 26 lakh with promise of job for sister in DU
A Dundahera village resident was duped of Rs 26 lakh by two people on pretext of a job for his sister at Delhi University (DU), police said.
Complainant Ankur Rao told the police that his sister had applied for the post of Assistant Professor in Delhi University in 2023, but could not clear the interview.
He alleged that later Omkar Yadav, a resident of Khedki Baghanki village, came to his house, who claimed that he had acquaintances with higher officials in DU.
The accused claimed that he will get his sister cleared in the interview and get her employed. He also introduced Ankur to Sandeep Kumar, a resident of Sampla in Rohtak, who settled a deal for Rs 32 lakh.
When complainant’s sister received a mail from the university for an interview scheduled on January 10, 2024, Sandeep told her that it was postponed.
Later, she received a mail on March 23 for documents verification on April 4. However, when the complainant and his sister reached the university, they found that there was no schedule for document verification.
The complainant told the police that in the meantime, the accused extorted a total of Rs 26 lakh from him. When Ankur asked them to return his money, the accused threatened to kill him, he alleged.
Following an investigation by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), an FIR was registered against accused Omkar Yadav and Sandeep Kumar.
