A resident of House No. 1065, near Rahimi Nursing Home, Mominpura, Nishant Ahmed Maqbul Ahmed Ambar (27) had uploaded his resume at various websites for a job. Around 12 noon of September 29, 2017, Nishant received calls on his mobile phone from 9540299735, 9891676494 and the caller said she was speaking from applynaukaro.com.in.
