Mangaluru: Man arrested for job fraud promising overseas employment
Mangaluru: In a case of fraud involving false promises of overseas employment, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) police have taken a prime accused into custody.
The accused has been identified as 36-year-old Masiulla Atiulla Khan from Mumbai. According to reports, Khan allegedly collected ₹1,65,000 from a complainant by promising a job abroad. Further investigations revealed that he had defrauded several youth by collecting a total of approximately ₹1.82 crore under the same pretext.
A case has been registered at the Mangaluru East Police Station and the investigation is currently being handled by the CCB unit.
Police sources confirmed that a previous case was already filed against the accused in December 2024 for opening a company without necessary approvals and deceiving people with false promises of employment abroad. That case, too, was filed at the Mangaluru East Police Station following information from immigration authorities.
Both cases have now been transferred to the CCB for a more detailed investigation, as confirmed by the Mangaluru City Police Commissioner in an official press release.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
