A woman has been arrested by the Sriganganagar police for duping some youths of lakhs of rupees by promising jobs in the CID wing of the Rajasthan Police.

Bindu (30) of Chak 59-GB (Lalgarh) village was booked on a complaint of Nirvail Singh Kamboj of Chak 48-GB village three months ago. Nirvail had accused that his son and some other youths were duped of Rs 2 lakh on the pretext of getting jobs in CID. Bindu, who had been absconding since then, has been remanded in police custody for two days.

Besides Nirvail’s son, four other youths were also allegedly duped on the same pretext. Their statements are yet to be recorded. A few days ago, some of her victims approached the Padampur police station, but no case has been registered yet. Bindu was also booked for extortion at the Suratgarh city police station. However, she got bail in the case. Bindu reportedly worked as a computer operator at a highway toll barrier in the Kolayat area.
