According to EOW, the case was registered on a complaint alleging that the accused fraudulently promised the complainant a job as a Computer Operator in Cambodia with a monthly salary of Rs 90,000.
Believing the promise, the complainant transferred lakhs of rupees into the accused’s bank account and also spent substantial amounts on visa processing, travel and other expenses.
