Both had cheated a Kurukshetra district resident by alluring him with a government job for his daughter in Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) New Delhi.
The spokesperson said the police had received a complaint from Parveen Kumar of Shahabad that he was duped on the pretext of being provided a job on the post of Assistant Registrar in the IGNOU.
In his complaint, Kumar told the police that Rajkumar and his associate Arun had cheated him by first demanding Rs Seven lakh as advance and Rs Eight lakh after his daughter gets the job.
Both the suspects told Kumar that his work would be done within a month and took Rs Seven lakh as advance. But neither Kumar’s daughter got the job not nor did they return the money.
A case under relevant sections of the IPC was registered against the accused and produced before a court. Further investigation is underway, the spokesperson said.
He urged the people to be aware of such fake job rackets as they cannot buy jobs with money.
