Three men from Telangana have claimed that they were cheated of a total of Rs 38 lakh by two Hyderabad-based consultancies while attempting to secure jobs in Italy and New Zealand.
This came to light when, on Friday, September 26, submitted a petition at the CM Pravasi Prajavani programme held at Begumpet Praja Bhavan, Hyderabad, appealing to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for justice. Telangana Government’s NRI Advisory Committee Vice-Chairman, Mandha Bheem Reddy, provided guidance to the complainants.
In a complaint, the victims, Mani Shravan from Gopalpet village in Nirmal district, Ram Sridhar
from Dhani village, and Thimmareddygari Shravan Kumar Reddy from Medak town, reported that despite paying substantial sums to the consultancies, they neither received overseas employment nor were refunded their money.
They explained their grievance to CM Prajavani’s Special Police Officer (DSP) Umender Velagala, who directed Nagole Police, through the Home Department counter, to register a formal case.
According to their statements, the sums paid to the consultancies were:
Mani Shravan – Rs 13 lakh
Ram Sridhar – Rs 12 lakh
Shravan Kumar Reddy – Rs 13 lakh
