"At first, he assured to get me and others jobs in various posts free of cost. But after one month, he said that due to some changes in the recruitment policy of the Central government, we needed to pay security money and fees towards the Director and Nursing in charge. So I paid him a total of over Rs 12 lakh," said Das.
