A man in Vrindavan cheated five people out of 36.40 lakh rupees by promising them jobs in the army and government departments. The victim, Rinku Singh, filed a complaint against the accused, Deepak Raghav. Police have started an investigation.
Rinku Singh, a resident of Nagla Devria in Mogarra, said he met Deepak Raghav, a resident of Surir, in December 2024. Raghav runs his office at Braj Apartment 2003 in Omaxe City. The victim has only an intermediate education and was unemployed.
The accused falsely promised to get him a job in the army for 10 lakh rupees. He showed several documents claiming to have secured jobs for many others. Deceived, the victim discussed this with his family, and his father and relatives also visited the accused’s office in Omaxe.
Trusting the documents shown by the accused, not only the victim Rinku but also his sister-in-law Sarita, cousin Praveen, brother-in-law Vikas, and sister’s brother-in-law Devraj agreed to seek government jobs. It was decided to pay 10 lakh rupees per job.
The victim alleges that based on this trust, he gave money to the accused multiple times through bank transfers and cash. On July 7, 2025, the accused gave Rinku Singh an appointment letter for a job in the army and told him to go for training in Jaisalmer. The accused received 36.40 lakh rupees.
On September 21, 2025, the accused sent Rinku and Vikas to Jaisalmer for training, where they stayed in a hotel for a month, but no training took place. Similarly, Praveen and Pankaj were made to stay in a flat near Shastri Bhawan in Delhi. They stayed there for two months, but again no job materialized.
When the victim’s family became suspicious, the accused Deepak Raghav initially started evading. Later, he refused to return the money, saying, “We take money by deceiving unemployed people like this.”
Victim Rinku Singh has filed a complaint at the police station and demanded action in the case. Police have said that a case has been registered and an investigation has begun.
