Mumbai: Cops on lookout for duo allegedly involved in railway job racket fraud

According to the Tulinj police, the complainant, who stays with his family at Nalasopara, in April 2019, through his relative, had come in contact with a Mira Road based person, who claimed that he and his Jaipur based brother can get people jobs in railways.

When the victims verified the letters, they realised that the letters were bogus and bogus stamps of the railway department were used in the letters," said a police officer.
