Being satisfied with the advertisement the complainant sent his resume. After that on 25/04/2019 he received an envelope through speed post. As soon as he opened the envelope he found a Joining Letter on the letter head of (PM-JAY) Prime Minister Jan Arogya Yojna from Connaught Place, New Delhi-110001, on which the same mobile number was printed, which was advertised in Dainik Jagran News Paper earlier. All the terms and conditions were mentioned in the joining letter. The training period, date of commencement of training schedule and date of joining on job were also indicated in the said letter. He was directed to receive a bank account number after contacting on the mentioned mobile number to deposit an amount of Rs. 12,500/- in the same account as a security deposit. Mr Surender had a conversation with his family members and decided to visit Jeevan Bharti Building regarding confirmation of such type of recruitment. After visiting the office of the “Ayushman Bharat Yojna” in Jeevan Bharti Building at Connaught Place, the complainant came to know that the joining letter he received was forged and meant to cheat the unemployed youth/persons only.

A specific task was assigned to each of the team members to work upon.

Rishi Kant used to provide Bank Accounts, Sim Cards and other aids to the kingpins. Their accomplices used to provide written/printed material of Government Plans or leading recruitments of the Nation. Gyan Prakash learned the ricks of trade from them and after that he started his new carrier.

Rishi Kant who lives in Gurugram Haryana, told his friend Ram Narayan, (also a resident of same locality), to manage above material and offered him good commission of Rs. 10000/- per Bank Account and Rs. 500 per Mobile SIM Card. Ram Naryana managed 02 bank accounts in the name of Praveen Kumar and around 8-9 Mobile SIM Cards from his contacts and gave them a handsome amount of Rs. 7000/- per Bank Account and Rs. 300 per Mobile SIM Card. In lieu of the providing Bank Accounts, connected ATM Card and Mobile SIM Cards Rishi Kant got an amount of Rs. 15000/- per Bank Account and Rs. 1000/- per Mobile SIM Card from Gyan Prakash @ Gyan Nagar.
After that accused Gyan Prakash @ Gyan Nagar managed laptop, printer, stamps, stationary, and material of “Krishi Vigyan Kendra” (KVK) and later on “Ayushman Bharat Yojna” (ABY). He established a setup at his own house and started cheating innocent job seekers by placing advertisement in leading newspaper of India, dispatching fake joining letters and convincing them to deposit a easily manageable amount of Rs. 12,500/- in the account number provided through the mobile number mentioned in the fake joining letter.
