VASCO
In another case of jobs-for-cash scam, Vasco police registered an offense against two Vasco residents, Govind Manjrekar and Suraj Naik, for allegedly cheating a woman of Rs 4.3 lakh.
The incident reportedly took place between March 1 and May 31, 2023, during which the accused promised to secure a government job for her but failed.
According to the complaint filed by Sakshi Sudarshan Kerkar, a resident of New Vaddem, the two men induced her to pay Rs 4.3 lakh under the pretense of securing her a job in Education Department as Multi-Task Staff.
However, after receiving the money, the accused allegedly neither provided her with the promised job nor returned the money.
Further investigation is being carried out by PSI Carey Fernandes of the Vasco police station under the supervision of PI Kapil Nayak and with the guidance of Mormugao DySP Gurudas Kadam.
The scam had rocked the State with over half a dozen arrests, so far, to FIRs registered at different police stations.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had stated that the government is very serious on the issue and assured that strict action will be taken against all involved.
