Scammers duped youths in Ahmedabad of ₹3.25 crore with fake offer letters for government jobs.

The accused claimed to have direct contact with Gujarat government officials and promised jobs in positions such as deputy collector and Class 1, extracting money from the victims. Two young women, Akasha and Pooja, along with Jaldeep Patel, Yogesh Patel, Jitendra Prajapati, Hitesh, Rahul Chauhan, and Raghav Chauhan, were among the victims duped of a total of ₹3.25 crore.

The accused promised the victims that they would be given jobs without taking exams, asserting that they had connections with GPSC officers. They demanded ₹3 crore per position for placements in top GPSC Class 1 job positions.

They produced fake offer letters for the jobs and collected a total of ₹3.25 crore from the victims. The accused would call the scam victims to Meena Bazaar near the old secretariat in Gandhinagar to gain their trust.

After receiving the money, the accused began declining the victims’ calls. Following this, the victims checked the documents they had received and discovered that they were fake.

Upon realising they had been defrauded, a complaint was registered with the CID, and an investigation is currently ongoing.
