The Airfield police on Sunday detained two women of the Kolathia area for allegedly cheating a nurse on the promise of providing her a job at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) Bhubaneswar.
The victim was identified as Sanjita Mohapatra.
According to a complaint filed by Mohapatra, the two women had demanded Rs 2 lakh to provide her a job.
“A woman, who works in Brahmapur, told me that she and her friend can get me a job at the AIIMS on a contractual basis for six years and asked me to pay Rs 2 lakh for the same. They initially took Rs 10,00.,” Mohapatra alleged.
She further said, “After few days, she again called me up and asked for Rs 1.5 lakh. Later, she introduced me with her friend, who works at a Bhubaneswar-based private hospital. But suspicious of their activities I approached the police and asked them to come and collect the money.”
