- Complaint reveals Group-1 job fraud at Banjara Hills
- Police probe Group-1 job fraud linked to fake OSD claim
Hyderabad: A Group-1 job fraud case has come to light in Hyderabad, raising serious concern among aspirants preparing for prestigious government exams. The incident surfaced after a Group-1 candidate filed a complaint at the Banjara Hills Police Station. The complainant alleged that a man cheated her by promising a high-level government job in exchange for money.
According to the complaint, the accused identified himself as Syed Haider Hussain. He reportedly introduced himself as “Abdul Kalam OSD” and claimed he had strong links with high-ranking leaders in Delhi. The victim stated that he convinced her by showing photographs with government officials. He also claimed that he had worked as an OSD in Abdul Kalam’s office. Based on these claims, he assured her that he would “definitely give her a Group-1 job.”
The complainant told police that Syed Haider Hussain promised her a Group-1 job in 2022. As per the complaint, she paid Rs. 7 lakh to him. However, the exams were cancelled twice during that period. Meanwhile, the accused kept asking her to wait, saying the delay happened due to the exam cancellations. He allegedly continued to postpone the matter and avoided returning the money.
Later, the situation reportedly worsened. The complaint stated that Syed Haider Hussain pressured the victim to write a cheque for the amount she had paid. Instead of returning the money, he allegedly began threatening her. The Group-1 candidate claimed that he threatened to kill her if she asked for her money back. Therefore, she approached the police, stating that she was facing life-threatening situations.
Based on the complaint, the Banjara Hills police registered a case and launched an investigation. Police officials said they are examining money transactions and verifying the photographs shown to the victim. They are also checking whether the accused’s claims about his official position are true. Meanwhile, police are trying to find out if others were cheated in a similar manner.
This Group-1 job fraud case has once again highlighted the risks faced by candidates chasing government jobs. Police have advised aspirants to stay alert and not trust middlemen promising jobs for money. They stressed that government jobs are filled only through transparent examination procedures. Further action will follow after collecting complete details in the case.
