The Nashik Cyber Police have officially registered a criminal case against unknown perpetrators following a viral social media scam targeting job seekers. The fraudulent posts deceptively advertised bogus security personnel recruitment opportunities for the upcoming Sinhasth Kumbh Mela. By exploiting the prestige of this major event, the scammers aimed to lure unsuspecting victims into their trap.
Authorities have issued a stern public warning, urging citizens to verify all recruitment notices through official government channels. This incident highlights the growing threat of cyber-fraud linked to large-scale public events and mass-gathering preparations in Maharashtra.
