The duo came in contact with the victim, Md Saleem of Chakunta in Choppadandi mandal, who sought help in getting a job for his wife. The accused promised to get her a job as a junior assistant in the Panchayat Raj department and collected Rs 8 lakh from him.

The accused handed over a forged job proceeding appointment order copy to Saleem. As the order copy resembled a colour photocopy, Saleem cross-checked it in the Collectorate office and was shocked to know that it was a fake document.

When Saleem confronted the accused, they refused to return his money. He then lodged a complaint with the One Town police, who registered a case and arrested the accused on Friday.
