Semiconductor Job Scam Uncovered: Arrests Made in Assam

In a major breakthrough, Assam police arrested four persons, including a college lecturer, in Morigaon district for allegedly duping people by promising jobs at Tata group's upcoming semiconductor unit in exchange for money. The accused targeted job aspirants with fake promises and collected substantial sums.

The elaborate scam involved setting up fake WhatsApp groups, offering lucrative employment opportunities to unemployed youths in Nagaon and Morigaon districts, according to police sources.

Evidently, the scammers crafted counterfeit appointment and interview letters to deceive their victims. A thorough investigation has led to the arrest of the accused and the discovery of significant deposits in one of their accounts. Police urge the public to verify job offers and report any suspicious activities immediately.
