Nearly 200 people laid siege to New RR Exports, a private firm run by Farooq Moidheen, stating that the firm had collected money from them making false promise of providing overseas jobs. Youth from Namakkal, Karur, Erode, Salem, Dharmapuri, Hosur, and Krishnagiri have paid Rs. 52,100 to register with the firm. They were promised passports, and an overseas job.
When phone calls to the firm went unattended to, people gathered in front of the office. The police have picked up four employees of the firm, including two women, for inquiry.
