    A 24-year-old man was arrested in Thane yesterday for allegedly duping at least five job seekers of over Rs. 9L, police said today. The accused, identified Niraj Dinkar Sonawane, posed as a government servant to carry out his fraud, they added. The accused promised placements to youths in different government establishments, including the Railways, Zilla Parishad, Passport department and the Public Works Department (PWD).

    Cops said Sonawane had promised to give government jobs to youths in Pune, Kalyan, and Thane and had collected Rs. 9.50L from these aspirants between January 2017 and August 2018. He duped the youths by posing as a government servant and used the official state emblem on his vehicle. He was apprehended Tuesday evening, after police laid a trap to nab him.
