The victim uploaded her information on various job portals, and suspects might have gotten her details from these portals and approached her. A suspect Harsh Mishra from a recruitment agency called the victim and claimed they would help her get a job in Australia. Accordingly, the victim arranged documents. 

On November 28, 2023, the victim called the accused and asked whether they would help her father get a job in the sales and marketing field in a foreign country. Accordingly, the accused pretended that they were going to initiate the procedure for her father and asked her to pay certain money. 

Meanwhile, after paying ₹29.97 lakh to the accused in various bank accounts, they stopped responding to her calls. Gorakh Kumbhar, senior police inspector at Sant Tukaram Nagar police station said, “By assuring her a job in a foreign country, the accused duped the victim to the tune of ₹29.97 lakh.’’ 

As per the complaint filed by the victim, on Tuesday a case has been filed against accused Harsh Mishra, Shivansh Patariya, Avinash Mishra, and one more unknown individual under BNS sections 316(2) 318(4) 3(5) and sections 66 C and 66D of the Information Technology Act.
