Taking action against the fraudulent persons aiming to dupe the public through a false advertisement for recruitments, Punjab Police has registered a criminal case against some unknown persons for further investigations.
A spokesperson of Punjab Police on Saturday said a fake post regarding advertisement of Punjab Police vacancies have been circulating on social media only to lure the youth for usurping money from them and cheat the Government. He said Punjab Police always issues public advertisements for a recruitment drive and uploads such information on its web portal also.
"No such advertisement or announcement have been made or advertised by the Punjab Police for recruitment or employment of any cadre in the force for the current year," he affirmed.
The spokesperson has advised the general public to disregard such fraudulent messages or posts on social media and said people should inform the nearest police station or police officer if any person claims or assures for any such employment in police.
The Cyber Crime wing of Punjab Police has registered a case in this regard under various Sections of IPC and IT Act at its Cyber Crime police station SAS Nagar for thorough probe into the matter.
