Bengaluru:​ A 32-year-old man was arrested for allegedly sexually harassing and cheating women aspirants in the city, posing as a manager with a reputed multinational.
J.P. Nagar police said that the accused, identified as Kishore alias Manjunath, a resident of Hanumanthanagar, had allegedly claimed that he was a human resources manager with a multinational and used to get the phone numbers of women from their resumes posted on a job portal.
The police arrested the accused on December 1, seized his phones and produced him before a magistrate, who remanded him in judicial custody.
During investigation the police found that he had conned many other women job aspirants, who were now refusing to come forward to lodge a complaint against him.
The incident came to light based on a complaint filed by a 22-year-old woman, a resident of J.P. Nagar.
She had stated that she was contacted by a man in mid-October this year, who claimed to be HR manager with Infosys and found her resume fit for a job.
After receiving the call, the woman was excited and keen to get the job. Kishore told her that he was influential enough to help her and started chatting with her over phone.
He then started seeking sexual favours over phone and even took Rs 1,800 from her as courier charges.
The harassment continued till November-end, when the woman got to know that he was a fraud. She then filed a complaint with the J.P. Nagar police.
