Fake online maid agency busted, 1 held
Chennai: 06.08.2020
A 41-year-old woman was arrested in Neelankarai on Tuesday night for running a fake domestic help placement agency online.
The newly launched cyber cell at Adyar police district busted the fake agency and arrested R Bulkees alias Amul, of Saidapet.
Police said Ashokraj of Vettuvankani recently lodged a complaint with the Neelankarai police alleging that Roja Manpower Services, an agency providing house maids, cheated him. A woman who called him within five minutes of him contacting the agency promised to send a maid to his house and made him pay ₹4,500 online. However, since she did not send the maid even after a week, Ashokraj dialled the agency number which remained unreachable. Realising that he had been cheated he lodged a complaint. A case of cheating was registered and the woman was traced with the help of the cyber cell police.
Investigation revealed that she has cheated several people using the same modus operandi. She was remanded in judicial custody on Wednesday. TNN
