VASCO: In a case of alleged fraud, Vasco police have registered an offense against two Vasco residents, Govind Manjrekar and Suraj Naik, for allegedly cheating a local woman, Sakshi Sudarshan Kerkar, of Rs 4.3 lakh. The incident reportedly took place between March 1 and May 31, 2023, during which the accused promised to secure a government position for her but failed to fulfill their promise.
According to the complaint filed by Kerkar, a resident of New Vaddem near Santoshi Mata Temple, the two men induced her to pay Rs 4.3 lakh under the pretense of securing her a position in the Education Department as Multi-Task Staff.
