The accused have been identified as Kumar Sambhav (25), a resident of Uttarakhand's Dehradun, and Lokesh Sharma (24), a resident of Gautambudh Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, they said. Vishal Jindal (27), a resident of Kailash Nagar, in a complaint at the Gandhi Nagar police station in December 2019 had said he was introduced to Sharma through an acquaintance Jatin, police said
The accused offered Jindal a computer operator's job in the AAI and asked for Rs 3 lakh for him, they said.
Jindal gave Rs 1 lakh and copies of his Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets to Sharma, police said.
On December 26, he received an appointment letter, which was fake, through e-mail where he was asked to come for training from January 9, a senior police officer said.
Sharma asked him for the remaining amount which he later transferred.
