The accused - Matru Prasad Sethi and Gopal Kumar Shaw - opened a fake website on National Intelligence Bureau which mimicked country's premiere agency Intelligence Bureau. Balangir police said they will request Google to take down the fake website.

Police said the duo assured unemployed youths to provide them jobs in the agency with a monthly salary of ₹44,000. They reportedly took money ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹2.5 lakh from job aspirants and provided them fake appointment letters.

The victims were asked to work as 'secret agents' for two years and later promised to be provided with weapons and uniforms, police said.
