PANAJI: Pooja Naik, one of the prime accused in several cash for govt job scam cases in areas like Mardol, Bicholim, Porvorim has been granted conditional bail in all the cases filed against her. Naik was arrested by Mardol Police last month.
In one instance, Priya Mandrekar of Porvorim complained to the Porvorim police that she had been dishonestly and fraudulently persuaded to transfer Rs 4 lakh to the bank account of Ajit and Anisha Satarkar, both of whom resided in Priol-Mardol, by Rupa, also known as Puja Naik of Old Goa, under the false pretense of offering her a government job.
Mandrekar had asserted that somewhere between November 20, 2021, and December 12, 2021, the accused had deceived her at Porvorim.
Mandrekar also said that on several occasions, she had moved the money into the bank accounts of the defendants Ajit and Anisha Satarkar using her husband’s bank account. Nevertheless, the accused failed to fulfill their pledge to offer her a position with the government and failed to reimburse the complainant for the money.
According to similar allegations of defrauding someone under the guise of offering a government employment, Bicholim police filed a formal complaint against Pooja Naik. On charges of defrauding a Ponda resident out of Rs 14 lakh under the guise of giving his sons government jobs, Naik was previously taken into custody by Mardol police on Sunday.
