Bihar SIT Nabs Suspect in ‘All India Pregnant Job’ Scam, Seizes Four Phones

Investigators say the operation spans several states, with the alleged kingpin still untraced despite new arrests.

Overview

  • Nawada Cyber Police's Special Investigation Team arrested Ranjan Kumar and detained a minor linked to the scheme.
  • Four mobile phones were recovered and a case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and the Information Technology Act.
  • The fraud relied on social-media ads promising Rs 10–15 lakh to men for impregnating childless women, then demanded upfront fees for registrations and expenses.
  • Investigators say the group harvested Aadhaar, PAN details and photographs and issued forged court or government documents to intimidate victims.
  • Police urge immediate reporting of such offers and stress that legitimate employers do not ask for registration or processing fees.
