Fraud calls under the guise of employment

One victim reported to the police that in June 2022, she received a friend request leading to job-related discussions. She was called from Chhapra to Muzaffarpur, charged 20,000 rupees for hostel and food, and trained to make fraudulent calls. She was required to call about 50 people daily. Tilak Singh in the office forced her into a relationship, and when she became pregnant, she was made to have an abortion.

Despite her protests, the company silenced her by claiming she was a shareholder, or they proposed a forced marriage. The accused created a fake marketing company named DVR, posting job offers on social media, stating that only girls could apply. The perpetrators would then hold these girls hostage and force them into illicit activities.

Police arrested two accused

A girl from Chhapra bravely filed an FIR at Ahiyapur police station in Muzaffarpur. DSP Vinita Sinha mentioned that this case dates back two years. People in a DVR company lured girls with job offers and then mistreated them. The police are investigating the matter earnestly based on the victim's written complaint, and subsequent actions will be taken based on the evidence presented.
