Panchkula, August 27
An Ambala resident has been booked for allegedly duping a Kaithal man of Rs8.5 lakh on the pretext of providing job in the Haryana Police.
The complainant, Mandeep of Kalayat, stated that the Haryana Staff Selection Commission had invited applications to fill vacant posts of constable in 2018 and he had applied for it.
Raj Kumar of Dera Bassi, one of the complainant's acquaintances, told him that he knew someone with high links in the Haryana Government, who could help the victim get the job. In December 2018, the victim met the suspect, Dharamvir.
The suspect demanded Rs16 lakh to be paid in two instalments, one before the written exam and the other after the physical examination. The first installment was paid to the suspect at the Mansa Devi market before the written exam on December 23, 2018.
In January 2019, Dharamvir demanded Rs50,000 on the pretext that it was necessary to clear the written exam as the victim's signature mismatched in the OMR (optical mark recognition) sheet. On January 15, the victim transferred the amount to the suspect's account.
However, the victim failed in the written exam. The suspect then told the victim that he would clear the exam in rechecking and obtained the victim's signatures on a blank paper saying that he would apply for rechecking on his behalf. In February 2019, the final list of selected candidates was published and it didn't have the victim's name. Subsequently, the suspect stopped responding to the calls made by the victim.
"The suspect refused to give back the money and threatened to kill me and my family members if I approached the police," the complainant said.
A case was registered under Section 420 of the IPC at the Mansa Devi Complex police station.
