Pune, 13th July 2026: A 30-year-old unemployed man from Nanded was allegedly cheated of ₹20 lakh after being promised a government job. Following his complaint, Deccan Police have registered a cheating case against three individuals.
According to police, the accused gained the trust of complainant Vitthal Pandurang Bhise, a resident of Jaitapur in Nanded district, by assuring him they could secure a well-paying government job. Believing their claims, Bhise agreed to pay the demanded amount.
