Govt Job Scam: Woman Duped of ₹4.5 Lakh, Assaulted and Thrown from Car
A woman was cheated of Rs 4.5 lakh for a fake government job, sexually assaulted, and thrown from a moving car in Telangana.
In a harrowing incident that has shocked the region, a 30-year-old woman in Telangana fell victim to a brutal Telangana government job scam, which culminated in sexual assault and a life-threatening attempt to discard her from a moving vehicle.
The Ghatkesar police have registered a formal case against a man identified as Jaganmohan, a resident of Bhuvanagiri, following a complaint detailing a calculated plot of financial fraud and physical violence.
The Lure of a Government Position
The nightmare began approximately four months ago when the victim and the accused first connected over the phone. Jaganmohan allegedly presented himself as an employee of the Bhuvanagiri Municipal Office, using his purported position to gain the woman's trust.
He lured her with the promise of securing a government job within the same office. To facilitate this "opportunity," Jaganmohan claimed that a payment of Rs 5 lakh was required to bribe a senior official. Trusting his claims, the woman managed to arrange Rs 4.5 lakh to hand over to the accused.
A Planned Trap
The situation escalated on October 26, when Jaganmohan arrived in a car at Ratnadeep in Mallapur to pick up the victim. He told her that he was driving her directly to the Bhuvanagiri Municipal Office to finalize the employment process.
During the journey, the accused took the cash from the woman and stored it inside the vehicle's dashboard. However, instead of proceeding to the municipal office, Jaganmohan diverted the car to the Sreenidhi Resort in Aushapur. He deceived the woman by claiming that the senior official she needed to meet was waiting for her in a room at the resort.
Assault and Brutal Abandonment
Once inside the resort room, the facade of the job offer vanished. The accused allegedly physically and sexually assaulted the woman. When the victim began questioning him and demanded to see the official he had mentioned, the situation turned violent.
According to the police report, Jaganmohan abused the woman and forcibly shoved her back into the car. As they drove along the highway, the accused allegedly pushed her out of the moving vehicle and sped away, leaving her stranded and traumatized.
Police Action
Following the victim's complaint, the Ghatkesar police have registered a case under the relevant sections of the law. Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is currently underway to apprehend the accused and recover the stolen funds. Further details regarding the arrest are awaited as the police continue their probe into the matter.
