Police in Kishanganj have detained Nahid Gani, an AIMIM-affiliated figure, for allegedly cheating people out of large sums by promising overseas employment in Malaysia, Dubai and other countries.
Kishanganj police announced the arrest of Nahid Gani, identified as a leader linked to the All India Majlis‑e‑Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), in connection with a large‑scale fraud case. Investigators allege that Gani approached job‑seekers, promising placements in countries such as Malaysia and Dubai, and collected substantial advance payments from the victims.
According to the police report, the amounts collected from the complainants totalled several crores of rupees. The scheme reportedly involved false documentation and assurances of guaranteed overseas employment, which never materialised. Victims were left without the promised jobs and with significant financial losses.
Authorities said the arrest was made after a thorough inquiry and corroboration of statements from multiple complainants. The case is being treated as a serious criminal offence, and further legal action is expected as the investigation continues.
The incident has drawn attention to the growing problem of job‑related scams in Bihar, prompting calls for stricter monitoring of recruitment agencies and public awareness campaigns.
