Mumbai: On Thursday, a company owner and her 12 employees including a minor boy were nabbed for allegedly duping job seekers with fake hiring advertisements in Mumbai. The 32-year-old mastermind accused had been identified as Sakhina Motarwala alias Saniya.
As per the report, the organisation was functional at the Taj Sats Air Catering Limited at International Airport where company representatives used to charge Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 as training and registration fees in the last six months.

He further noted that the fraud job providing company used to assure their new employee that they will get around Rs 26,000 once they get hired.
