The police recovered ₹15,000, one Tata Indica car, a Tata Sumo car, one auto-rickshaw and two mobile phones from their possession. Mahmood Chand Pasha, a frequent offender, who was earlier arrested on cheating the youth promising jobs, came out on bail and met the other four accused and planned to make a fast buck by cheating the unemployed youth.

The accused had collected ₹60,000 to ₹1.80 lakh from innocent unemployed youth for providing employment in Telangana Water Grid, Mission Bhageeratha, NTPC and other sectors. They prepared fake appointment letters, ID cards and stamps and forged signatures and cheated the youth. Following a complaint by the victims, the police nabbed all the five accused.
