Man (36) poses as journalist, cheats 150 job seekers in Noida, held
Noida: Police on Wednesday arrested a 36-year-old man who allegedly posed as a journalist and cheated people with a promise to get them jobs in turn for money. More than 200 visiting cards, interview forms and job-related documents were recovered from his possession. DCP (Central Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy said that the accused, Wasim Ahmed, went by several aliases like Ravindra Sharma, Kapil Bhati, Piyush Bhati, Rohit Kumar, Rohit Chandela and Rahul Bhati. He allegedly put up advertisements on fake job vacancies on a YouTube channel 'TODAY Jobs Noida' and asked job seekers to contact him at his office in Sector 81, which he set up six months ago. "The accused would charge job seekers about Rs 1,600 for registration and filing papers. He would also conduct fake interviews, give them fake appointment letters from companies, like Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Haier and LG," DCP Avasthy said. The accused would simply go incommunicado when job seekers realised they had been cheated and use his links as a 'journalist' to scare them away when they reached his office seeking a refund. As Ahmed charged a paltry fee, many would not pursue the case. According to cops, Ahmed hired two women to assist in preparing the fake documents and conducting the interviews on a monthly salary of Rs 12,000. He is likely to have cheated 150 people in the last 6 months. The veil over the scam was lifted after one of the job seekers, Yogendra, submitted a complaint on April 26 at Sector 63 police station. After his arrest on Wednesday, police found that Ahmed has been jailed twice after he was implicated in similar cases registered at Sector 49 and 20.

Noida: Police arrested five people for allegedly smuggling weed from Thailand and Shillong to sell at colleges, universities, and even residential areas. Cops also recovered 26.5 kg of marijuana worth around Rs 50 lakh from the accused's possession. According to DCP (central Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy, police received information a few days ago that a gang was smuggling OG, Mango, and Shillong ganja in the city. The marijuana was reportedly being smuggled in from abroad and supplied to students. "A team from Phase 2 police station and the CRT team launched a campaign and prepared a plan to nab the smugglers. On Monday, when the gang members were going to smuggle marijuana, the teams nabbed them based on information from an informant," the DCP said. On seeing the police team, the accused tried to flee on their bikes but did not succeed. Cops recovered a total of 2kg of OG marijuana, 8kg of Shillong-made, and 16.5kg of Mango-made marijuana from the accused. Police also recovered three bikes and investigation is underway to determine if they were stolen.

"The smugglers said that the kingpin arranged the OG from Thailand. Shillong and Mango were procured from Shillong and hilly areas. After this, it was packed and supplied to the wholesale traders of Delhi-NCR. The gang members also sell marijuana and earn three to four times profit. Information is also being gathered about how and through which medium they procured it from Thailand," the DCP said. Avasthy further explained that the gang members did not stay in one place and kept changing locations continuously to avoid getting caught. "They do not have any fixed customers; rather, they negotiate and sell marijuana wherever they get a higher price. The accused use WhatsApp calls due to fear of getting caught so that the police cannot trace them," he added. "The gang members became active in Noida four months ago. The accused have also given information about another of their associates. A three-member team has been formed to arrest him," said Phase 2 SHO Vindhyachal Tiwari.
