700 recruits, 12 projects, one vanished company: Inside Pune's IT job fraud

700 recruits, 12 projects, one vanished company: Inside Pune's IT job fraud 700 recruits, 12 projects, one vanished company: Inside Pune's IT job fraud Pune Police have arrested Thynk Technology India CEO Harshal Thakare in an alleged IT recruitment scam after hundreds of engineering graduates, freshers and interns claimed they were duped with promises of jobs, stipends and permanent employment before the company abruptly shut down operations. A major alleged IT recruitment fraud has come to light from Pune's Hinjawadi, where hundreds of engineering graduates, freshers and interns claim they were cheated after being promised jobs, stipends and permanent employment by Pune-based Thynk Technology India. Police have arrested the company's CEO, Harshal Thakare, while the search continues for other accused. Investigators probing the case have uncovered what police describe as a carefully structured operation in which employees were divided across multiple small office setups and project teams. According to Senior Inspector Balaji Pandhare of Hinjawadi Police Station, Thakare allegedly avoided operating from a single large office and instead established several small setups at different locations. Employees were distributed across various teams working on separate projects, with limited interaction between groups, making it difficult for them to understand the true scale of the company's workforce and operations. The investigation began after more than 700 employees, most of them software engineers, fresh graduates and interns, were allegedly left jobless when Thynk Technology India abruptly ceased operations without prior notice. The company operated from Hinjawadi Phase II and conducted large-scale recruitment drives across Maharashtra during 2025.

ED summons TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee in teacher recruitment scam; asked to appear on June 15

ED summons TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee in teacher recruitment scam; asked to appear on June 15 KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday served a summons to Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, directing him to appear before the agency on June 15 in connection with the primary school recruitment irregularities case, officials said. According to officials, a team of ED officers visited Banerjee's residence on Kalighat Road in south Kolkata on Wednesday evening, according to news agency PTI. As the Diamond Harbour MP was not present at the time, the summons was handed over to a member of his staff. Banerjee, nephew of former West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, has been asked to appear before the agency at its office in the CGO Complex in Salt Lake. The ED has been investigating the alleged primary teacher recruitment scam since 2022. As part of the probe, the agency has carried out multiple searches at premises linked to Trinamool Congress leaders and arrested several prominent figures, including former state education minister Partha Chatterjee. Investigators suspect large-scale irregularities in teacher appointments, including alleged manipulation of merit lists, fraudulent recruitment practices and the involvement of intermediaries in securing jobs in state-run schools. Over the past year, the ED has questioned several officials and attached assets worth crores of rupees as part of its money-laundering investigation.

Scientific techniques to 'scene' recreation, how CBI is probing Twisha case

Scientific techniques to 'scene' recreation, how CBI is probing Twisha case Scientific techniques to 'scene' recreation, how CBI is probing Twisha Sharma's death While in CBI custody, accused Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh were taken to their Bhopal home to piece together the events that ended in Twisha's death A special CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) court in Bhopal, on June 2, sent retired district judge Giribala Singh and her lawyer son Samarth Singh to judicial custody for 14 days in the Twisha Sharma death case. The CBI counsel informed in court that the probe agency was for the moment done with its interrogation of Giribala (Twisha’s mother-in-law) and Samarth (Twisha’s husband), and that remand may be sought again if it needed to question the two accused or confront them with evidence. Twisha, a 33-year-old former Miss Pune, was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12 in what is alleged to be a case of dowry harassment and domestic torture. The case was transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government to the CBI after an outcry over the alleged highhandedness of the Singh family and handling of the case by the state police. Here’s how the CBI probe has moved forward over the past two weeks. Sources said that in the past 10 days that Giribala and Samarth were in CBI custody, they were taken to their home and asked to narrate the sequence of events. The CBI used a 3D scanner to recreate the structural image of the house. Sources said that on June 1, the CBI brought a model of Twisha weighing 80 kg—the same as recorded in her post-mortem.
