The Dahisar police recently arrested a man who duped a  woman of Rs 27 lakh on the pretext of giving her a job as a ticket checker with the Indian railways. The accused even gave the victim an appointment letter for the post of TT and a badge with the Western Railway, but when she cross-checked the documents with a divisional railway manager, she found they were fake. The accused identified as Jitendra Ghadi, 39, was caught in Malwani on Wednesday. The police said Ghadi used to work in the railways workshop. They said he is under suspension following his involvement in a similar case last year.

According to the police, two years ago, the Dahisar-based woman's father was approached by a a relative of Ghadi. The relative told him that Ghadi worked in a senior position in the railways and could recruit and appoint employees, and he had appointed more than 33 people. He also told the complainant's father that there was a job vacancy for ticket checkers in the Indian Railways and Rs 35 lakh would have to be spent to get the job. He also allegedly told him that he was looking for a job for his daughter and would give the amount to Ghadi, and the appointment letter would be given in the month of September.
