Kushinagar Operation Unveils International Job Scam, Arrests 10

Law enforcement in Kushinagar successfully disrupted an international fraud network that exploited Nepali citizens with false job and educational prospects. The operation resulted in the arrest of ten people, including eight men and two women, who were apprehended in a precisely coordinated effort in Kasya, Kushinagar.

The gang preyed on economically disadvantaged and less educated individuals from Nepal, luring them to India under the pretext of providing employment and educational opportunities. Upon arrival, the victims were coerced into paying various charges claimed to be for training and registration.

Authorities rescued 453 Nepali nationals and ensured their safe return to their home country. Investigators confiscated counterfeit Aadhaar cards, bond papers, gold rings, and both Indian and Nepali currencies from the suspects.

Those detained include Nepali nationals such as Deepak Thapa and Om Prakash Chaulagai, among others, along with an Indian resident of Kasya. The accused confessed to being part of an organized international fraud ring. Legal action under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been initiated as police continue their investigation to track down other syndicate members.
