Delhi police scored a major win against job scammers this week, arresting 36-year-old Imran Khan, the managing director of an unregistered manpower agency called I.K. Manpower Services Private Ltd. The outfit operated out of Janakpuri in Delhi, preying on hopeful job seekers with fake promises of overseas employment.
Khan ran a slick operation, luring innocent people with offers of lucrative jobs in Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Iran, and Iraq. But instead of real opportunities, victims faced illegal recruitment scams that left them cheated and stranded abroad.
In a dramatic raid led by Inspector Satender Poonia and Sohanlal, officers busted the agency and caught Khan red-handed with nine tele-callers on the job. They seized 148 passports—145 Indian and three Nepali—along with stacks of incriminating evidence showing the full extent of the fraud. The agency had no valid registrations under India’s Emigration Act of 1983, making the whole setup illegal from the start.
The case kicked off when a woman came forward, saying Khan duped her out of 75,000 rupees with lies about a job in Kuwait. She ended up stuck there, only escaping thanks to help from the Indian Embassy. Police have now charged Khan under Section 12 of the Passports Act, Section 24 of the Emigration Act, and Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code for cheating.
Investigators aren’t stopping here. They’re digging deeper to find more victims of this overseas job fraud, track down who holds those seized passports, follow the money trail, and shut down the entire racket for good.
This bust follows another recent crackdown by Delhi’s Crime Branch, where they nabbed three suspects posing as workers for a fake outsourcing firm. Those crooks used a bogus website and a U.S.-based WhatsApp number to scam people on visa and job processing services, grabbing laptops, phones, and forged documents in that raid too. With job scams on the rise, especially for Gulf jobs, authorities are ramping up efforts to protect desperate seekers from these predators.
