Unemployment in the country is something that is making people lose a lot of money. In need of a job, scammers have been manipulating people for jobs, plundering a lot of money from the ones who are looking for a job. One such incident has been reported from Mumbai. A 74-year-old man from Maharashtra's Thane district was allegedly duped of Rs 20 lakh by three persons on the promise of a job for his son in Australia, police said on Saturday.

As reported by PTI, based on a complaint, the police on Thursday registered a case under sections 318(4) (cheating) and 316(2), 316(5) (criminal breach of trust) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against Irfan Ismail Parkar, his wife, and Liyakat Ismail Parkar, an official said.

The officials, while addressing the media, said that “the trio had been cheating the complainant since 2017".
