Pune: The Wanowrie police are investigating a complaint registered by a 35-year-old woman, wife of a Border Security Force (BSF) constable, on Thursday stating that a conman, under the pretext of helping her secure a job as a clerk at the Pune Cantonment Board (PCB), duped her of Rs 4.38 lakh between Nov 2023 and Nov 2024. Sub inspector Balasaheb Wakade on Friday said the victim is a resident of Vadu Budruk at Shirur. She holds a degree and visited the PCB in search of a job when she came in contact with the conman, he said, adding that the conman lured her by claiming he could help her secure the clerk because he was in the good books of the PCB officials. Wakade stated that the conman induced the victim to pay a total of Rs 7 lakh and assured her that she would soon receive a letter of appointment for the clerk position. She did not receive anything, Wakade said. Later, the woman and her husband, who is a constable with the BSF and posted in Siachen, realized that she was tricked and asked the suspect to repay the money. The suspect eventually repaid Rs 2.68 lakh and sought time to repay Rs 4.38 lakh, but to no avail. He eventually stopped communicating with her, the police officer said. The woman has shared the suspect's cellphone number and photograph. A police team is working on certain clues to arrest him, he added.
