Two suspects arrested in probe into fake job fair’

Karachi police arrested two suspects in connection with a fake job fair held in Gadap town, according to reports. One of the arrested individuals was a woman, Ms Nargis, who allegedly acted as the event's coordinator. The other suspect, Mr Waqas, reportedly booked the farmhouse where the event took place to organize the charade. The main suspect, identified as Sahil Salman, is believed to have organized the entire operation.

Around 59 women were reportedly deceived into attending the job fair, held at Ansari Meadows Farmhouse near Baqai Medical College, under the pretense of interviews for positions with Bahria Town Karachi (BTK). The women, according to the police, had their mobile phones confiscated upon arrival and were told they would be interviewed by BTK builders and officials. However, the women claim that after depositing their phones at a guarded counter outside the interview room, Mr Salman took all the phones and fled the scene.

Following complaints from the affected women, police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the suspects and initiated legal proceedings. Police authorities stated that they are conducting raids in various locations to apprehend Sahil Salman, who is the alleged mastermind behind the fraudulent event.
