Bihar police busted a network running a job scam offering ₹13 lakh to men for ‘impregnating women’ who were not able to conceive a child with their partners. A total of eight people were arrested in Bihar’s Nawada for allegedly luring men into scandalous schemes on social media, according to a Times of India report.
The group used to operate as ‘All India Pregnant Job (Baby Birth Service),’ on different social media platforms and used to lure men to participate in job service where they will get an opportunity to earn money by impregnating women.
According to the news report, they used to charge a registration fee of ₹799 from interested candidates. Afterward, they were allowed to pay security amounts varying from ₹5,000 to ₹20,000.
The arrest of fraudsters running the scam was made after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Bihar Police raided different locations linked with the mastermind of the scheme, Munna Kumar. During the raids, the prime accused in the case managed to escape from the spot.
The arrested men are part of a larger cybercrime syndicate running across the nation, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kalyan Anand. During the raids, authorities seized nine smartphones and a printer from the locations. The police hinted towards more arrests in the case.
