Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): A shocking case of fraud has come to light in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur where a man posed as an officer of the Union Home Ministry and duped a woman of nearly ₹3 lakh on the pretext of providing job.
The victim, identified as Madhuri Deshpande is a resident of Snehnagar Extension Colony. According to reports, the accused contacted her over phone and introduced himself as an officer from the home ministry.
