HYDERABAD : Employees of yet another software firm which allegedly duped them after collecting money promising jobs, approached police to take action against the firm.
The agitated youngsters working at a private software firm, Professional Techno Soft, located at Somajiguda, said the firm promoters collected money ranging from Rs. 50,000- Rs. 1 lakh from them promising jobs to them six months back.
Hundreds of youngsters who completed B.Tech and other courses joined the firm by paying the amount. The recruitments were made through associates of the firm management.
