Wipro job racket busted

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

Four persons, including a woman, were arrested for allegedly duping at least 37 job seekers to the tune of Rs.1.80 lakh on the pretext of providing them employment at a leading IT firm. The accused were identified as Rajiv Ranjan (30) from Bihar, Mohammed Azar (25) a native of Andhra Pradesh, Sathya Priya (25) a resident of Tamil Nadu and M. N. Naryanana (29) hailing from Kerala, as per Bangalore Police Commissioner B. G. Jyothiprakash Mirji.

B. G. Jyothiprakash Mirji said, "Priya would lure job seekers and collect documents and original certificates from them with a promise to get them employed in Wipro in Bangalore. The accused would then accompany them to the Wipro campus, where she would arrange for a meeting with her accomplices, posing as Wipro personnel. The accused would then arrange for an "interview" with a person posing as an employee of the HRD division of the company. The accused managed to gain entry into the Wipro campus by misusing the vendor entry cards issued by the company.The accused would then hand over the victims appointment letters for the post of software trainee engineers with an annual income of Rs.2.94 lakh. The fake letter also asked them to report to Wipro in the month of September. The racket came to light when one of the victims suspected something amiss and alerted the police, following which each of the accused were nabbed one after the other over the last 15 days".

The gang, all first-time offenders, had been running this racket for about 40 days and had so far cheated 37 people. The accused were tech-savvy and also managed to replicate the Wipro logo on their letterheads. So far, the police had not traced any links to any Wipro employee in the racket, but are investigating this angle as well, he said.

The police found goods worth Rs.58.43 lakh, ATM cards, PAN cards, gold ornaments, vehicles and duplicate letterheads from the accused. Three of the gang members were pursuing their management courses and were well qualified, police claimed.
