Bengaluru: Two CID personnel arrested for allegedly deceiving people by offering govt. jobs
Bengaluru: The Vijayanagar Police have reportedly arrested two individuals on charges of fraud by promising people government jobs.
Anita BS and Ramachandra Bhatt, who were working as section superintendents in Bengaluru’s CID unit, have been arrested in this connection, informed the police.
The case came to light when Sunil, a resident of Kalyananagar in Chikkamagaluru, filed a complaint at the Vijayanagar police station.
According to Sunil's account, he was introduced to Ramachandra Bhat in 2021 through a friend. Bhat purportedly claimed to have connections with the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) and influential figures within the government, offering assurances of securing government jobs for interested individuals.

Anita, who held the position of section superintendent at the CID unit in Bengaluru, allegedly collaborated with Bhat in this fraudulent scheme. Sunil was led to believe that he would be appointed as an Assistant Engineer in the Public Works Department (PWD) through KPSC. In return for this promise, Anita demanded a hefty sum of Rs. 40 lakh from Sunil, which he paid in installments in December 2021 and February 2022.
However, despite Sunil's payments, he did not receive the promised government job. When he demanded the return of his money, he was met with abuse and threats from the accused. This prompted Sunil to lodge a complaint with the Vijayanagar police, leading to the arrests of Anita BS and Ramachandra Bhatt.
Based on the victim’s complaint, a case was registered and the accused were arrested.
Meanwhile, the police have informed that the investigation has revealed that both the accused had deceived two more individuals in the same pattern and supposedly siphoned more than 1 crore from victims.

Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent gets threat
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
