According to her complaint, the victim had registered on a matrimonial website in July 2024 while simultaneously searching for employment. Soon after, she was contacted by a man identifying himself as Dashmeet Singh Bindra from New Delhi, who introduced her to one Rahul Khanna, claiming he was the HR head of a reputed company with a vacancy for a Ground Wing Manager position at Delhi airport.
Believing the opportunity was genuine, the woman began making payments under various pretexts, including security deposit, accommodation charges, and processing fees, between July 2024 and January 2025. To fund these transfers, she used her mother’s account without consent, sold her savings in Euros, and took personal and gold loans. In total, she transferred Rs 34 lakh.

The fraudsters even issued her a fake joining letter and a cheque for allowances, which bounced due to “signature mismatch.” By March 2025, the so-called HR became untraceable, only resurfacing later to demand more money under the guise of a tax refund.
The scam unraveled when the woman confided in her brother, who verified the documents and confirmed they were forged. Acting on her complaint, East Division Cyber Crime Police registered an FIR under relevant provisions of the IT Act and cheating by deception under BNS. Investigations are underway to trace the culprits.
