A man who duped many people on the pretext of providing jobs in AIIMS and also facilitating services at the hospital has been arrested from south Delhi's Pul Pehlad Pur area, police said on Wednesday.

On December 13, a complainant filed a report at the Hauz Khas police station that in October, he met with Rahul at AIIMS Hospital who offered him a job there. On the pretext of securing a job for him at AIIMS as a security guard, Rahul tricked the complainant into handing over his mobile phone and Rs 4,500 cash. But he neither got the job nor his mobile phone and cash were returned by the accused.
