An FIR has been registered by the Delhi police against unidentified fraudsters after a complaint from a premier company that several job seekers were duped on the pretext of getting them placed in it.
The alleged fraudsters got in touch with the gullible youths after accessing their resume from job search engines and promised them a job in Tata company.
The incident came to light after officials from Tata gave a complaint to Delhi Police commissioner B S Bassi that some people were duping people on the pretext of getting them job in the company.
Following the complaint, a case was registered in the Economic Offences Wing.
The youths were duped to the tune of Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 in the name of application and processing fee, police said.
"Such incidents are common now a days. A similar fraud was earlier unearthed by us where unemployed youths were duped in the name of Maruti. We have registered a case and efforts are on to nab the culprits," a police official said.
