A lot of British news headlines follow this format:
Topic topic topic, description description description
Example:
Reddit bans hate subs, users flock to Voat
This could possibly have a historical explanation. Some British news outlets are so old, they actually date back to a time when we had town criers. The Guardian, for example, was established in 1821 as the "Manchester Guardian". Perhaps we started to optimise headlines in a way that would give the most amount of information in the most simple way possible, to make it easier for the headlines to be shouted out, meaning people would buy more papers.
In the case of this headline, there is a kind of silent comma.
Indian engineer named Saddam Husssain, refused 40 jobs
It does not make sense to have a comma in there. The person who wrote it is following a format, but used the wrong wording in the headline.
the problem is that there should be something indicating that the guy wasnt the one do the refusing. it should read "refused for 40 jobs" or "refused by 40 jobs" or "refused from 40 jobs." needs a preposition.
i imagine an editor told the author that you shouldn't precede "40" with the word "for" in the title so they just deleted it and the editor didn't bother to look at it again... or maybe britglish is weirder than i know.
