Around 60 per cent of the alleged victims were women and unemployed youths.

Bringing the culprits to book is next to impossible for police unless a victim categorically identifies the suspect,& he said. MPCD filed 107 fraud cases against 93 persons during the period. Most of them, mainly educational refer toancies and manpower companies were found to have been involved in cheating unemployed youths of cash on the pretext of dispatching them abroad for foreign employment or higher studies.
