A female bank employee in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district has been arrested for allegedly duping unemployed youths and their families of approximately ₹20 lakh on the pretext of securing government jobs.

According to reports, the accused allegedly collected money from several people, including job seekers from Palampur and Rampur, by promising them government employment.




When the promised jobs failed to materialise, the victims reportedly demanded their money back. The accused allegedly issued cheques to some victims, but they bounced due to insufficient funds in her bank account.

A fraud case was registered at Hamirpur Sadar Police Station in 2025. Police reportedly said that non-bailable warrants had also been issued against her by courts in Rampur, Hamirpur and Jhanduta.




She was arrested on October 24, 2026, and further investigation is underway to determine whether others were involved in the alleged fraud.
