VADODARA: The expanse of the data entry scam seems to be growing like a never-ending spiral. Investigations in the recent case have revealed that persons promising data entry work had spread their tentacles across the country without having enough work on hand.
The manhunt for Vijay Praneshwarrao Kutty and interrogation of Anand Rajendra Nigam who was arrested recently has led the police to a major racket spread throughout the country. The modus operandi of those involved in the racket too seems to be similar.
For instance, Kutty had promised work to persons in Mumbai, Vadodara, Hubli, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore. Interestingly, the police nabbed Kutty’s close aide Nigam, when he was about to collect deposits for promised work from persons in Hubli.
Nigam told Economic Offence Cell (EOC) officials of the crime branch here that a deposit of Rs 3,000 was collected from persons who wanted work. “The deposit was collected for work on one personal computer.
Hence if a person wanted to take up work for 100 computers, he would have to pay Rs 3 lakh. The complainant Keyur Patel had taken up work for 700 computers and paid Rs 21 lakh as deposit,” an EOC official said.
EOC police inspector N K Rathod who investigated the last data entry scam involving Bhupendra Vyas of Melfa Infosys said the likes of Kutty and Nigam had duped several persons across the country. “Many outsourced more work than they actually had, while many others were simply in the business of cheating people and did not have any work,” said Rathod.
