Firm decamps after duping job seekers in Rajasthan, UP
A case has been lodged against a company that duped hundreds of job seekers in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and then decamped with over Rs 250 crore. The company asked the job seekers to deposit “security money” in return for jobs as teachers and supervisors. The “company” closed its offices in Mathura on Wednesday and vanished into thin air.
Some of the job seekers have lodged an FIR against St. Peters and Mother Teresa Children Education and Welfare Organisation that had allegedly “recruited” several people from Mathura, Agra, Aligarh and Bharatpur (Rajasthan) for the post of home teacher and supervisor, on a five-year contract basis. The company was operating here for the last three years.
The company demanded Rs 80,000 and Rs 1 lakh from “recruits as security money” and paid Rs 7,000 and Rs10,000 respectively, to home teachers and supervisors.
District magistrate Rajesh Kumar said that “On the complaint of the investors, a case u/s 420 and 468 of the IPC has been registered in the highway police station. The mobile numbers of the company office-bearers have been kept under surveillance”.
A senior police official said that the company managed to earn a good reputation when it gave jobs and salaries in the beginning. Those who got jobs turned into publicists for the company which brought many “investors”. Police teams are being sent to Rajasthan to track the company owners.
