Bhayander travel agent in cop net for overseas job scam
A Bhayander east-based travel agent was arrested on charges of cheating after he collected huge amounts of money by promising overseas
jobs to unemployed men.
Kumar Gulab Chand Mistry (41), who along with associates ran the Raj International S N Tours and Travels from RNP Park in Bhayander (E), had advertised in newspapers about overseas jobs. A number of aspirants, including some from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, landed at the office. They paid between Rs 15,000 and Rs 70,000 depending on their job profile.
Eknath Gaikwad, a Dombivli resident, was among those who approached the agency for a job. He paid Rs 25,000. On Saturday, when he went to find out about the status of his job, he was told to pay more. But, there was no mention of jobs. Gaikwad, who had sold gold jewellery to arrange for the money, approached the Mira Road police.
The police arrested Mistry and seized 103 passports from his office. Mistry was taken to the Thane court where he was granted bail. His partner Rajan Sharma, based in Delhi, is absconding.
Over 100 men, who had paid money to get overseas jobs, have also approached the police with their complaints.
