Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): Two young men from Jabalpur were defrauded of lakhs of rupees with the promise of a high-paying job in Malaysia by miscreants. Two victims even got stuck in Malaysia, without a job and their passport, for four months. Somehow, they managed to return and lodged a complaint with Jabalpur police on Wednesday.
According to information, one of the victims, Imran Ansari, a resident of the Gohalpur area, filed a police complaint against two individuals named Ishtiaq and Salim. Few months ago, Imran came into contact with Ishtiaq and Salim, who promised him a job in Malaysia with a monthly salary of ₹45,000. They charged him ₹90,000 for the job arrangement and sent him to Malaysia.
Survived on one meal a day for four months
However, after reaching, Imran realised he had been defrauded. Also, his passport was confiscated by a Pakistani agent and he was left stranded in a foreign land. Imran said he spent nearly four months in Malaysia, surviving on one meal a day and wandering through jungles.
Siraj Ahmed Ansari fell in same trap
