Man held for attempt to cheat job-seekers

Special Correspondent


They were aspirants who appeared for selection tests of a software firm


TAMBARAM: Personnel of Central Crime Branch of the Chennai Suburban Police have arrested a 25-year-old man for trying to cheat aspirants who appeared at selection tests for a leading software firm in Tambaram Sanatorium.

A press release said that officials of the software firm inside Madras Export Processing Zone – Special Economic Zone had conducted the tests on May 30 and on that day, Karthikeyan managed to get hold of a copy of the list of the candidates with their contact numbers.

He contacted the aspirants and promised to get them jobs as he had connections with all higher-ups in the organisation.

He also asked one month’s salary as commission for getting confirmed placements.

The company’s officials told police that even after some youth were placed, Karthikeyan continued to contact them over phone and harassed them asking them to pay a month’s salary. Following the complaint, CCB personnel traced Karthikeyan at Puducherry and arrested him, the release said.

Women held

Pazhavanthangal police have arrested five women - Parvathy, Lakshmi, Mubina, Mallika and Kalyani - for their involvement in a series of crimes, in supermarkets, jewellery shops and textile stores.

Police said that following a sudden spate in crimes, they had constituted a special team that arrested the women on Medvakkam Main Road on Monday.

Held for cheating

The Suburban police have arrested D. Duraibabu (28) on charges of cheating nearly 200 women of Rs.5 lakh.

Police said that a CCB team was acting on a complaint filed in June by T. Thilagavathy of Avadi.

The woman had said that nearly 200 women like her had paid Rs. 2,850 each to Duraibabu running a private finance company. She said they were lured by his promise that if they paid the said amount, they would receive Rs.10,000 to Rs.25,000 in return.

However, neither they did they receive the promised amount nor the money they had paid Duraibabu, who was arrested on Monday.
