Promising a job and a life partner, cyber frauds cheated a 32-year-old unemployed commerce graduate and made away with ₹34 lakh in a span of one year .

The victim sourced the money from her mother’s account without her consent, took gold loans and personal loans, and sold Euros which she had saved, to fund the money demanded by the accused as security deposit to issue the letter of appointment.

Based on her complaint, the East Division Cyber Crime Police on Thursday registered an FIR against unknown people charging them under various section of IT act and also under cheating by deception and dishonest inducement under BNS for further investigation.

According to the complaint, the victim had registered on a matrimonial website for an alliance and was also looking for a job in July last year.

The victim got a call from a person who identified himself as Dashmeet Singh Bindra, residing in New Delhi and offered to help with employment.

Claiming to have contacts with a reputed company’s HR, he later connected the victim with one Rahul Khanna, who he introduced as an HR head, who claimed there was a vacancy in a company, and initiated further communication regarding a job opportunity as Ground Wing Manager at the Delhi airport.

The victim was asked to make multiple payments under the pretext of completing necessary formalities for employment, including security allowance, accommodation charges, and joining processing fee.

Based on their assurances, she made payments in smaller transactions from July 2024 to January 2025, totalling ₹34 lakhs.

Later, in October 2024, she received a joining letter along with a cheque as an advance for accommodation and job-related allowances. However, shortly after, she discovered that the cheque was invalid and got bounced, she questioned the “HR”, who claimed that the cheque had bounced due to a signature mismatch.

The “HR” contact became unreachable from March, 2025, but contacted her recently claiming that her earlier payments could be refunded after the payment of an additional “tax amount”, she alleged.

The cheating came to light when the victim in March 2025 contacted her brother and shared the offer letter and other related documents, who confirmed all these letters are fake and suggested lodging an official complaint.

The police are now trying to locate the accused based on their contact details .
