The Commissionerate police, who took ITER Placement Dean Rajkumar Hota on a two-day remand, have elicited some explosive information from about the fake placement racket in the ITER which has rocked the State.
The police during interrogation of Hota ascertained that a number of fake placement agencies are operating in the State. But the operatives are from outside the State.
The police have formed three teams to trace and nab the accused involved in the racket. The police would also seek further remand of Hota to unravel more facts.
“We will soon trace the 25 people involved in the racket for which we have made three teams. They will soon be behind the bars,” said a senior police official.
Earlier, Commissioner of Police YB Khurania had said, “The fake webpages of three companies Huawei, Mitsubishi Electric and Mecas were used during the placement drive. We are investigating the people who had organised and participated in the recruitment drive. This cannot be the act of one individual, and we are trying to find all those who were behind it.” The police have also got some photographs related to the placement drive, he added.
Meanwhile, the demand for arrest of promoter of ITER and SOA University Manoj Ranjan Nayak is getting shriller. After the Students’ Congress and the Pradesh Congress Committee earlier, the lulu Sena jumped into the bandwagon on Monday to show solidarity with the duped students.
At a Press conference here, lulu Sena general secretary Rajendra Panda accused Nayak of indirect complicity in the fake placement scam and demanded his arrest.
