Woman duped of Rs 1.34 lakh in fake municipal job scam
A woman has allegedly been defrauded of Rs 1.34 lakh under the pretext of securing a job in the Municipal Corporation, Manesar (MCM). An FIR has been lodged at Farrukhnagar police station following the complaint.
The victim, identified as Kirti, a resident of Tirpadi village in the Farrukhnagar area, reported that she came across an advertisement on Instagram promising a job in the Municipal Corporation, Manesar. Upon contacting the number provided in the advertisement, she was assured of a government job, either in the corporation or elsewhere.
