LB Nagar, Hyderabad: The LB Nagar Zone’s Special Operations Team (SOT) and the Pocharam IT Corridor police have successfully dismantled a fake job racket. They arrested three suspects who were tricking job seekers with false promises of government and public sector jobs.
The arrested individuals are Shaik Bade Shaheb (30), Muthoju Laxmana Chary (24), and Madaka Rama Swamy (56). They have been linked to multiple previous fraud cases where they deceived people by promising jobs in well-known organizations like the Food Corporation of India (FCI), State Bank of India (SBI), and various local government departments.
The investigation began after a complaint was filed on September 4, 2024, by a local businessman, Kasarapu Thirupathi. Thirupathi, along with others, was tricked by Madaka Rama Swamy, who claimed he could secure government jobs for their children. Believing these false promises, Thirupathi paid ₹12 lakh for his daughter’s job placement, while others paid ₹16 lakh each. The payments were made through both cash and online transactions.
The suspects provided fake appointment letters and ID cards to the victims. When the fraud was discovered, the suspects promised to return the money but then disappeared. A formal complaint was lodged at the Pocharam IT Corridor Police Station, prompting the investigation.
Details of the Accused:
– Shaik Bade Shaheb (also known as Shaik Munna): Shaik Munna has been involved in several fraud cases. He operated under different identities, running businesses like “Laxman Corporates” and SDL Softech Solutions, where he claimed to offer legitimate job placements for large fees.
– Muthoju Laxmana Chary: A 24-year-old from Dilsukh Nagar. Details about his involvement in previous frauds have not been fully disclosed.
– Madaka Rama Swamy: A real estate agent who allegedly acted as a facilitator in the scam, using his connections to lure victims.
In addition to these three, two other individuals, Mohd Malik from Bengaluru and Akash from West Bengal, are suspected to be part of the network, specializing in creating fake documentation.
Police seized various pieces of evidence from the accused, including ₹4 lakh in cash, laptops, an Epson all-in-one printer, mobile phones, fake appointment letters, fake ID cards, and rubber stamps used in the fraudulent operations.
The SOT revealed that the accused used several deceptive tactics to exploit job seekers. They pretended to offer temporary jobs to build trust and created fake email communications and websites to appear credible.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities actively searching for the remaining suspects involved in this large-scale fraud. This case serves as a reminder for job seekers to thoroughly research and verify employment opportunities to avoid falling victim to such scams.
Shri G. Sudheer Babu, IPS, Commissioner of Police for Rachakonda, oversaw the operation along with DCP K Muralidhar, ensuring that justice will be served. The Rachakonda Police Department advises the public to stay alert and report any suspicious job offers to the authorities for further updates.
