He asked the complainant if he was aware of anyone being interested in the job.

Over the next two years a total of 13 youngsters including the complainant’s daughter paid Rs 33.30 lakh to Mishra, Rahul Singh, Nitish Kashyap and two others who claimed to have contacts in the Indian Navy. From 2023 onwards, when they were asked about the jobs, the accused kept telling the 13 youngsters that they would soon be contacted by the Indian Navy.
