Cyber crime officials nabbed Sandeep Pandya in connection with placing advertisements resembling those issued by the state government for openings in various departments, a release here stated. Subsequently, a case was registered under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 419 and 420 (cheating), and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, an official said.
