GURUGRAM: A
man
has been booked for allegedly advertising high-profile jobs in telecom major
Bharti Airtel Limited and cheating an
aspirant
of Rs 5 lakh. The matter came to light, when the applicant reached the company’s Gurugram office on July 3 with an appointment letter, that was found to be fake.
Saurav Negi, officer with Bharti
Airtel Limited, told police that the accused was advertising jobs through an online job portal and offering aspirants lucrative deals at well-known companies. “In the said case, the aspirant was asked to pay around Rs 5 lakh for the job offer, which he paid and was issued the fake appointment letter,” Negi said.
The complainant told police that the company had faced similar fraud in October last year, when a man was offering similar jobs to people through the online portal.
An FIR has been registered against the unidentified accused under sections 419 (cheating by impersonation) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC and Section 66 C and 66-D of Information Technology Act at Cyber Crime police station.
