The Delhi Police Crime Branch on Monday claimed to have busted an inter-State fake job racket with the arrest of six people. Police said the gang has duped more than 50 people to the tune of Rs 65 lakh, on the pretext of providing them jobs in different Government agencies.
DCP Crime Bhisham Singh said, “The modus operandi of the gang included getting in touch with innocent job seekers from UP and Rajasthan and other States. Premjeet Rai would meet them in Surajveer Singh’s office, along with his employee Surat Singh in Rohini. They would demand Rs 3 lakh per person for the post of clerk, UDC, Public Relation Officer in different Government agencies.
“Dayal Chand and Sonu Kumar would meet the candidates posing themselves as staff of different Government agencies. They would fill up their application forms and would get their medical examination done at Government hospitals in Delhi with the help of an ambulance driver.
Thereafter, Sonu Kumar would prepare fake appointment letters and send it to the candidates by post. The candidates would be asked to join their place of posting in New Delhi. However, the accused people would meet the candidates near the different Government offices and would get their signatures on “New Attendance Register” giving impression that the complainants have joined the office for duty. For three months they were given salary of Rs 34,000 in cash”, the DCP said.
Police said that they received a complaint from a Rajasthan native Jhunjhar Singh. He alleged that some people had duped him and his acquaintances of Rs 65 lakhs.
“The complainant claimed that he came in touch with Krishna Yadav, Raj Kumar Roy and Surajveer Singh and other persons while he was in Delhi. They claimed that they could arrange a job for him as a clerk in different Government agencies through their contacts. Consequentially, Singh paid Rs 6 lakh to the gang members for the job. Complainant also introduced his other friends-Prince, Vinay Goyal, Bulidan Singh, Narender Singh and to the gang and told them about the offer”, the DCP added.
“Thereafter, on several occasions, Singh and his friends paid around Rs 65 lakhs to the gang on different occasions for getting a job in any Government agency. The gang also arranged for their medical test at Government Hospital. Complainant received an Appointment letter for the post of ‘Public Relations Officer’ in different Government agencies through speed post. likewise, the other victims too received appointment letters for various posts in different Government agencies and Bank. The complainant was also paid Rs 34,000/- per month as salary for three months. However, the complainant got suspicious and when he demanded his money back, the accused men fled away,” said Singh.
To investigate the matter, a team under ACP Jasbir Singh was formed to nab the accused.
