Decade-Long Fraud Uncovered: Arrest in ONGC Job Scam

A man named Narendra Manguruji Maundekar was arrested in Gujarat for allegedly defrauding a retired railway officer of Rs 17 lakh by promising a job in ONGC for his son. The arrest comes a decade after the alleged fraud, revealing a job scam operation.

In a significant breakthrough, Mumbai police arrested Narendra Manguruji Maundekar in Gujarat on charges of conducting a decade-long job fraud scheme. Maundekar is accused of deceiving retired railway officer Jayprakash Tamore out of Rs 17 lakh by promising a prestigious ONGC job for Tamore's son.

Maundekar and his accomplice, Sandeep Jadhav, allegedly posed as senior ONGC officials, reassuring victims with a veneer of credibility. Despite initial steps towards employment, including a medical exam for Tamore's son, the promised job never materialized.

The deception came to light when a refund cheque bounced, prompting a 2025 fraud investigation. Maundekar has reportedly confessed, and police are probing further potential victims ensnared in this elaborate scam.
