Student accuses company of duping her with part-time job offer; Kadri Police file case
Mangaluru: Kadri Police have filed a case against Vexon Company of Kudroli in the city for allegedly duping students with an offer of part-time employment.
The complainant, learned to be a student, has cited the names of Vexon Company founder Digvijay Desai, co-founders Ramachandra Shevale, Sunil Savanth and Anan Ahair, Mangaluru unit staff members Pallavi, Anjali, Navya, Nivish, Jayashri and Junaid. She has accused these people of having given false information to students and other job aspirants to gain their trust and then duping them.
In January, the complainant reportedly received a call from Navya, who offered a part-time job from 2 pm to 5 pm, for a pay of Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 a month. Navya also said that the applicant would have to pay Rs 2,500 for the software, data entry and residence and food that would be provided during training.
Finding the offer agreeable, the student paid the said amount and joined the company as a trainee, reportedly along with other job aspirants. She was told to ensure business with client companies, purchase of things worth Rs 51,000 from other companies and get more employees for the company. She was assured of a commission if she turned successful in the work.
The complainant is said to have told the police that a man identified as Nivesh paid her Rs 51,000 through Google Pay, but the items handed to her by the company were substandard. In addition, while initially she was told the work would be on software and data entry, she was later not only brainwashed to act as they demanded but also harassed mentally by forcing her to get others to join the company. She was also forced to sign on the records of the company, the complainant has told the police.
