The Agripada police have booked three people for cheating seven engineers on the pretext of giving them jobs in the Indian Railways. One of the three accused is a railways employee. The fraud came to light when an architect from Kalyan, who was duped of Rs 10.1 lakh, registered a police complaint on Sunday.

The 26-year-old complainant was looking for a job when he met a man named Rahul, who claimed to be a railways employee in Pune, in May last year. Rahul told the complainant that he can help him secure a post of junior engineer in the railways if he pays him Rs 25 lakh.
