A major job fraud case has emerged from Pune, where a multinational IT company and a human resource consulting firm allegedly cheated several computer engineers of crores of rupees by falsely promising employment and later terminating them without paying salaries. The scam came to light when the victims raised their concerns during Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar\u2019s \u2018Jansamvad\u2019 public grievance program. Taking note of the issue, Pawar instructed the Pune Police Commissioner to take strict action, following which a case was officially registered against both the IT company\u2019s CEO and the HR consultancy\u2019s management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the complaint filed at Bavdhan Police Station, the victim, a computer engineer who had completed<\/a> his Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) course, was seeking a job when he came in contact with the HR firm based in Magarpatta. The firm allegedly demanded money in exchange for job placement in a reputed multinational IT company with offices in Bavdhan Khurd, and claimed to have branches in the United States, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the United Kingdom (UK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an interview, the complainant was informed that he had been selected for the post of Junior Software Engineer and was asked to deposit \u20b91 lakh to receive an official offer letter. He transferred the amount on August 8, 2024, to the consultancy\u2019s bank account and received the offer letter the following day via email. The complainant joined the company on September 2, 2024, and worked there until November 2, 2024, after which he was suddenly dismissed without explanation and was denied two months\u2019 salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigations have revealed that nearly 75 engineers faced similar treatment. Five victims alone were defrauded of \u20b99.75 lakh, while the total fraud runs into crores, according to the Forum for IT Employees (FITE) President, Pavanjit Mane.

The Pune Police have initiated a detailed probe, examining financial records, documents, and emails from both companies. Charges have been filed under IPC Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420(cheating), and 506(criminal intimidation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
