DEHRADUN:
Senior superintendent of police of the special task force (STF) Navneet Singh said a complaint was filed by a Dehradun resident at Cyber Crime Police station in June 2024 that he was duped of ₹22,96,000 by unidentified people online under the pretext of offering him a job in the United Kingdom.
The accused were identified as Ravi Dhingra (38), a resident of Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, and Harpal Singh (35), a resident of Mayapuri in West Delhi. They were arrested on January 2.
Singh quoted the complaint as stating: "The victim said that he was contacted by unidentified people on his WhatsApp number that they had received his CV from Naukri.com. The victim was asked to pay ₹14,800 for registration."
"Following the payment, he received a video call on Skype for a technical interview. Then a final round was conducted and the victim was told that he had been selected. Thereafter, the victim on November 22 last year was asked to make payment under the pretext of document verification, security amount, fast track visa and IELTS exam," the complainant stated.
