Bangalore: Two persons were detained after a company, suspected to be a fictitious one, conducted a campus recruitment programme and collected money from students of RBANMS College near Ulsoor Lake Circle.
Clarifying that the two persons, who had collected money from job aspirants, were not arrested, police said they were being detained to net the company's 'senior official', identified only by his first name, Anand.
As many as 120 students of the college had attended the job interview, and the company selected 100 aspirants, and collected Rs200 each from them.
At least seven students of the evening colleges resigned their jobs, after the company had offered them employment with a monthly salary of Rs18,000.
The company's plans went awry when one of the students became suspicious after seeing the receipt. It did not have the firm's name or address. He demanded a proper receipt.
The student informed others when the two representatives failed to provide a proper receipt. The representatives told him that their boss Anand had not given them a certified receipt book.
The students staged a protest demanding the company to repay the money. The representatives refused saying it could be refunded only by Anand.
The company officials even tried to contact the man, but he could not be reached.
The Bharatinagar police said the incident was a case of cheating and the company was bogus.
"The two who represented the firm were unaware of the cheating. We have recovered the registration money and handed it back to the students. We are trying to find out the main suspect, Anand," sub-inspector Anitha Kumar said.
The RBANS College authorities refused to comment on the incident.
