Divya Gupta helped cops nab cyber criminals but now handicapped, she is being neglected by all
Three years ago she made news by helping the Gurgaon police nab international cyber criminals. But today, when she in dire need of a job to feed herself and her family, government organisations are not bothered. No mercy, please: Divya Gupta is looking for a job after her left hand was amputated pic/Imtiyaz Khan Twenty-five-year-old Divya Gupta, who once showed exemplary courage by helping cops lay a trap for cyber criminals, is today waiting outside the Northern Railway office for a job with the railways. Divya, a resident of Gurgaon, lost her left arm when it was amputated a year ago because of an ailment. And with that, she also lost the chance to work with private organisations. "My father expired three years ago and I had to take the responsibility of my mother and younger brother. But I suffered from asthma and high blood sugar because of which I developed an ulcer in my left arm. The ulcer became cancerous and the limb had to be amputated," said Divya, as she waited to meet Vivek Sahai, general manager, Northern Railway. Divya says she wants the job to prove her capability and not as a mercy. Divya has also forwarded her request to Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, who was in Delhi to inaugurate a new building at the New Delhi Railway Station. "I am physically challenged. I am seeking the help of the Railways as it usually has openings for the handicapped. Mamata Banerjee has directed the general manager of Northern Railway to meet me," she said. Divya, who, before her illness, was working as a data operator and was an avid Internet user, had helped the Gurgaon police expose a Nigerian cyber scam three years ago. "While working on the Net I came across a message that a company wanted a trusted person with whom it could deposit $10 million. But before taking up the work, the person had to give Rs 2 lakh. I sensed it was a scam. So to expose them, I asked the company to send me a ticket or send a person to meet me. An agent came to meet me and I informed the Gurgaon police. The police nabbed the agent and the gang was exposed. But even after helping the government, in my time of need, the government is not helping me," said Divya.
