Names of those arrested are Peram Lalitha Devi (24), Velangi Varaprasad (35) and Veerraju (38).
Lalitha Devi lured unemployed youth offering class four posts in the AP veterinary department and collected huge amounts .
She used the name of veterinary assistant Varaprasad as the jobs "recruiting officer" and even introduced him to gullible youth as a "veterinary doctor".
