Rapa Sai Prashanth, a man in his 20s, did something straight out of the films. Just like in the Tamil movie Dragon, Prashanth got someone to impersonate him during a job interview.
The virtual interview was for a job at Infosys. While Prashanth got hired, his scam was busted in 15 days. After applying through a job portal, Prashanth’s documents were verified and forwarded by one Shiva Prakash, a manager at the recruitment firm Sampradaa Software Technologies, according to Times of India.

The software engineer from Telangana was given an offer letter on January 20, 2025. Despite having a strong intellectual background, Prashanth’s colleagues felt suspicious as his voice did not match from that of his virtual interview.
Prashanth was quite fluent in his english during the interview, but had communication problems while on the job. This raised doubts, leading to his eventual discovery.
