Two persons were arrested for allegedly duping several youths thousands of rupees after promising them employment in Tata Steel, a senior police officer today said.
Rupesh Kumar and Abhisekh Kumar, both residents of Begusarai district of Bihar, were arrested from a hotel here following a complaint by one Amit Kumar who is from Patna.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Jascinta Kerketta told a press conference that the accused took money from unemployed youths promising them jobs in Tata Steel and even provided appointment letter to them.
However, when the candidates reported at Tata Steel to join, the officials there found the appointment letters fake and the matter was brought to the notice of police.
Police came to know from Amit that the two have put up in a hotel, which led the police to conduct a raid there today and arrested them.
One of the victims alleged he was duped Rs 87,000 by them, Kerketta said adding that at least three persons have reported to the police in this regard.
She said the police were in search of two other persons involved in the racket.
Police has recovered three fake appointment letters, 30 proforma of appointing letters, two mobile phones, one ATM card and other documents from them.
