To clear his name from job racket, Malad businessman Anil Kamble led his fraudulent employee on and got her to come back after she absconded to Dubai
An accused arrested two years ago for allegedly duping people with false promises of procuring employment for them, helped sleuths nab the main accused, by pretending to love her.
Tasneem Vohra
The helper, Anil Kamble, owner of Job Solution Company in Malad (W), had been arrested in 2009 after a person lodged a complaint that his firm had looted him of Rs 1.25 lakh on the pretext of getting him a job in Dubai.
When sleuths had questioned Kamble, he told them that he had no knowledge that a job racket was being run in his company.
He said that his employee, Tasneem Vohra (31), was in charge of the office. Tasneem had secured the job with Kamble after telling him that she had a lot of contacts in Dubai.
When the job racket was busted in 2009, Tasneem fled to Dubai and the police had declared her as absconding.
According to PSI Herpude of Malad police station, Kamble informed the police after he misled Tasneem into coming back to the city from the Gulf.
Said Herpude, "Tasneem's modus operandi was that she used to dupe a prospective client and flee to Dubai with the cash. After things cooled down, she'd return to con more unsuspecting people."
Tasneem, a Mira Road resident, has three fraud cases pending against her in different police stations in the city.
Love trap
Two months ago, Tasneem, who thought that the police were off her back, contacted Kamble to get her old job back. After hearing from her, Kamble decided to get her arrested so that he could clear his name.
He stayed in touch with her over the phone, convinced her that he loved her and wanted to meet her. She fell for his trap and flew down from Dubai to see him.
"While she was in Dubai, I pretended to have a love affair with her. It took me some time to convince her. She finally agreed to fly to the city to see me.
She told me she had got cigarettes for me from Dubai.u00a0 So I called her to my office," Kamble told MiD DAY.
"We laid a trap and as soon as she arrived in Kamble's Liberty Garden office, we arrested her. We will now present her before the court on Friday," said Herpude.
