Nagpur: In a major fraud case exposing a fake job racket, Nagpur Police have registered an offence against six individuals for allegedly duping job seekers of over Rs 45.50 lakh on the pretext of providing permanent government-aided teaching jobs.
The complaint was lodged by Farheen Afsha Sheikh (41), a resident of Lashkaribagh, along with her brother, sister, and other associates. The accused allegedly lured them with promises of securing 100% government-aided permanent jobs in schools run by a minority educational institute, despite the institutions not being eligible for such grants.
