In a shocking revelation, a major job scam has emerged in Narnaul, Haryana, where three individuals were duped of lakhs of rupees under the false pretext of securing clerk positions in the Delhi Municipal Corporation. The victims, identified as Lalu Prasad from Hasanpur, Shyamsundar from Kalwadi, and Vinod from Nalapur Mohalla, have lodged a complaint with the police, resulting in the registration of a case against five individuals, including Deepak, Pankaj, and Amit from Sonipat.
According to the police complaint, Lalu Prasad encountered Deepak and Amit, both residents of Sonipat, in October 2021. Deepak, claiming to work at Income Tax Delhi, assured Lalu Prasad of securing a clerk’s job in Delhi Municipal Corporation in exchange for Rs 10 lakh. Lalu Prasad paid Rs 2 lakh in cash to Deepak in February 2022, and the remaining amount of Rs 6,47,300 was transferred to the accounts of Deepak, Pankaj, Amit, and others between May 3 and June 15, 2022.
The victims, hopeful of their employment, were provided with a fake list and a fabricated joining letter. However, the accused later claimed that the victims were still on a waiting list, citing pending police verification. Despite the victims undergoing a fake police verification process, they neither received the promised jobs nor the refunded money.
Shyamsundar, a maternal uncle of Lalu Prasad, and Vinod Verma, a resident of Nalapur Mohalla, were also ensnared in the scam. Shyamsundar’s son paid Rs 5,33,100 to Deepak at Lalu Prasad’s shop in October 2022, with an additional Rs 2,16,900 sent through phone-pay between October 15 and March 11, 2023. Similarly, Vinod Verma sent Rs 3,04,040 to Lalu Prasad’s shop and Rs 4,95,960 via phone-pay between January 27 and May 31, 2023.
Based on the victims’ complaints, the police have registered a case against Deepak, Pankaj, Amit, and two others—Subhash and Naresh from Agwanpur, Sonipat. Further investigations are underway to unravel the extent of the scam and bring the accused to justice.
