HYDERABAD: By promising jobs at the Bahrain international airport, a con artiste has duped over 50 youngsters from Telangana to the tune of Rs 50 lakh in the past one month. Based on complaints lodged by the victims, the Saifabad police registered a cheating case on Tuesday.
The culprit was identified as SS Ali, proprietor of Al Ahli Consultants, an overseas job consultancy firm located at Babu Khan Estate, Basheerbagh.
In April, SS Ali opened a shop at Babu Khan Estate and issued advertisements in newspapers stating that he could provide jobs with handsome salary at the Bahrain international airport. Over 50 youngsters from Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana approached Ali and paid Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 as advance for processing fee. All the victims even gave their passports to Ali. For the past few days, Ali’s office remained closed and he stopped responding to phone calls.
Realising that they were duped, the victims lodged a complaint with the Saifabad police on Tuesday.
