Hyderabad: The Central Crime Station (CCS) sleuths here on Saturday arrested a gang of job racketeers, who cheated gullible unemployed youth by promising jobs as Junior Assistants in the Finance Department of Telangana State Secretariat and seized an amount of Rs 3.2 lakh from them.
The main accused Sarikonda Ashok, an attender in Nizam College, Shiva Prasad and M Ramesh, both private employees, B Sudhakar, a CT scan technician in Anantapur Government Hospital, Y Chandrakanth Goud and K Nagaraju, reporters of Vaartha Lokam, a Telugu daily, formed a gang and conspired to cheat jobless youth in the guise of arranging Junior Assistant jobs in the Finance Department of Telangana State. All of them planned to collect huge amounts from the youth by promising government jobs and after collecting money from the candidates, planned to put them in small jobs on contract basis with the help of one Ranga Babu and manage them later.
They lured the victims Md Muneeruddin, E Srinivas Reddy, K Jyothsna and M Kishore by making the promise and collected Rs 4.5 lakh from Md Muneeruddin and Rs1.5 lakh each from the remaining three candidates. On November 12, all the victims were taken to Finance Department in 'D' Block of Telangana State Secretariat where Ranga Babu posed himself as senior officer and conducted fake interview to all the victims and also declared that they were selected for Jr. Assistant posts in Finance Department.
After a couple of days, the accused gave one letter each to the victims as if signed by Section Officer, Finance Department, claiming that those were confirmation letters and appointment orders would be given soon. The victims doubted and enquired that their posts were shown as data entry operators instead of Jr.
Assistants and came to know that the orders were fake and Md Muneeruddin approached the CCS. Efforts are on to arrest the other accused who held interview and issued fake appointment letters. The police registered a case against all the accused.
