Illegal Recruitment Ring Busted in Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai police uncovered an unauthorized recruitment agency deceiving individuals with promises of overseas jobs. The operation, named 'Goodwill Global Consultancy', was found unlicensed by the Ministry of External Affairs. Seven individuals face charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Emigration Act after a Ministry complaint.

Navi Mumbai police have dismantled an illegal recruitment agency, linked to duping people with false promises of overseas employment, an official reported on Monday.

The crackdown occurred on Saturday when the Navi Mumbai crime branch and Vashi police raided the 'Goodwill Global Consultancy', which functioned without authorization from the Ministry of External Affairs.

This led to an FIR under section 318, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, involving seven suspects after a complaint from the Ministry's assistant section officer; investigations confirmed their unauthorized recruitment activities for foreign appointments.
