Fake job offers for army
Manoj, a Ghaziabad resident, reported the incident to the Daurala police station in Meerut after accusing the defendant.
He claimed in his allegation to have met the accused while in Faizabad in 2019 for army enlistment. Rahul assured Manoj that he would secure jobs for both Manoj and his brother in the military. Manoj paid Rs 16 lakh for the item because he trusted him.
Additionally, Rahul called Manoj to Pathankot for training and distributed appointment letters. One of Rahul’s conspirators, Bittu, used video conversations with the victims during this scam to avoid being recognised as a suspect.
Manoj even received a phoney army uniform and ID card from the suspects in Pathankot. He spent four months there at work.
