The Tamil Nadu police arrested four people, including a woman, for duping more than 100 people on the pretext of providing government jobs.

Renuka(48) of Nanmangalam, Gandhi(54) of Saidapet, Mohanraj(38) and Rajendran(33) of Teynampet were arrested on Sunday by the Central Crime Branch of the Tamil Nadu police. The arrested were remanded in judicial custody.

Police said that Renuka, the kingpin of the gang, had created a fake identity card as a Government officer and cheated people by showing it. The gang had employed agents across the state who contacted the job aspirants and took them to the gang which fleeced them.

The victims were promised government jobs in all departments including PWD, school education, government hospitals, and government secretariat. The gang conducted interviews outside the government departments and later took the candidates to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for a check-up.

Few members of the gang would take the “outpatient” slips in the name of the job aspirant at the hospital and the candidate would be taken inside for a medical check-up. Police said that the hospital staff was not involved in this and conducted the health check-up as their duty. Police said that a few days after the medical check-up, the gang issues fake posting orders to the aspirants.

The gang members, especially Renuka and Mohanraj, would take photographs of them with the VIPs to convince the job aspirants that they are close to them. Police said that money in the range of Rs 50,000 to 3 lakhs was taken from the potential aspirants.

Police team headed by Assistant Commissioner, Surendran and Inspector Kalarani arrested the four and froze ten bank accounts belonging to them. A car, two bikes, and Rs 40 lakh worth of property documents were seized from them.

Inspector Kalarani, while speaking to IANS, said: “I don’t know how people are falling into traps set by such cheats. Both Renuka and Mohanraj were arrested earlier in similar job cheating cases in 2018 at Pallikaranai and the gang according to our information has been operating since 2014.”

She said that police is conducting several awareness programmes across the state warning people not to fall into the trap of job racketeers.

Kunal Kamra row: 3 more FIRs filed over Shinde jibe, merged with Mumbai case

Published

on

Mumbai, March 29: In fresh trouble for controversial comedian Kunal Kamra, three additional FIRs filed against him in different cities have been merged with the one registered in Mumbai’s Khar police station over his alleged jibe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The stand-up comedian courted controversy for cracking an allegedly objectionable joke during a show last month, using the term ‘gaddar’ (traitor) to make a veiled reference to Shinde.

The three zero FIRs that have been merged with the main case registered in Khar were filed in Thane, Nashik and Buldhana by Shiv Sena workers.

The three FIRs were filed by Sunil Jadhav from Nandgaon Manmad, Nashik; Sanjay Bhujbal from Jalgaon Jamod, Buldhana and Mayur Borse from Manmad, Nashik.

The complainants in the three FIRs said that the comedian allegedly created hatred between political parties by making ‘objectionable’ remarks against Shinde. They also alleged that Kamra’s remarks defamed Shinde’s ‘conduct’.

The three FIRs were registered under penal provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita dealing with defamation and public mischief.

Kamra, who has been granted protection against arrest till April 7 by the Madras High Court, has been summoned by Khar police for recording his statement on Monday – this will be the third police attempt to call him as he has not responded to two earlier requests.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 9 (Mumbai), Dixit Gedam said two offences have been registered at Khar police station.

One is against Kamra for derogatory comments, while the other is against people who vandalised the Unicontinental hotel in Khar where the shoot of his stand-up comedy act titled ‘Naya Bharat’ took place.

Kamra landed in trouble after giving a comic spin-off to a popular Hindi song in which he indirectly described Shinde as a ‘traitor’, referring to the 2022 Maharashtra political crisis which eventually led to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led state government.

The controversy snowballed after Kamra uploaded a clip from the show on social media last Saturday. Angry Shiv Saniks vandalised the hotel, resulting in the arrest and the subsequent granting of bail to 12 Shinde supporters.
