A man was arrested for using the modus operandi of conmen in Hindi film âSpecial 26' to allegedly dupe job aspirants, a police official said on Monday.
The man, a resident of Osmanabad, posed as a desk officer of the Supreme Court and promised jobs in the apex court, he said.
"He took Rs 20 lakh each from the victims. The fraud came to light after he approached Kotwali police station for bandobast to conduct exams in a city school. His identity card was suspicious. Further probe unravelled the racket," the official said.
