Three persons were arrested on charge of running a fake job racket and duping one person of several thousand rupees promising her with a job.
Acting on a complaint of Pritikana Biswas, a young woman and resident of Naya Gopalganj in the North 24 Parganas district, Kolkata Police arrested three persons - Amit Biswas, Kaushik Biswas and Raju Chowdhury for "cheating" the lady of around Rs 16,500 after promising her with a job at the Rural Development Organisation (RDO), a senior officer of Kolkata Police said.
One laptop, documents with RDO stamp generally issued for training purpose, and other documents of the organisation used for issuance appointment letters were seized from the trio, he said.
Pritikana alleged that she had received an application form from the accused trio which she had handed over to an unknown person.
"She then recieved a code on her mobile number from the RDO as her registration with the organisation... And that led to her having a sense of trust on them. She then paid them Rs 16,500 for medical tests and other processess for getting the appointment letter," the officer said.
As the trio reportedly started avoiding her, she had waited for a long time and not getting the job as she was promised, sought police help.
