Former Post-Master General, who is also son of former MP Baijnath Kureel fell into trouble when a case of fraud has been registered against him and two others which included his son, in Barabanki allegedly for taking money in the name of job. The action was taken on the direction of local court.
Reports said that one Kamlesh, a native of Barabanki district moved the Chief Judicial Magistrate Shivani Jaiswal’s court in Barabanki on December 24 last year. He alleged that he and two others had gone to the house of the former Postmaster General in lucknow, Kamlesh Chandra for seeking jobs and were asked to pay Rs 15 lakh. They disclosed to have handed over Rs 60,000 to ex-Postmaster General's son Ayush at a hotel in Barabanki on November 25, 2011 and the remaining amount was paid in January 2012, the petitioner further alleged. Whey they made enquiries regarding promised jobs, they were threatened, the petitioner claimed, according to police.
The petitioner's counsel said since Kamlesh Chandra is, at present, a member of the Postal Recruitment Board, the Communication Minister had been also informed about this for further action. Reports said that later on the directive of Chief Judicial Magistrate Shivani Jaiswal, a case was lodged against former Postmaster General Kamlesh
Chandra, his son Ayush Chandra and another person at the Kotwali Police Station. Kamlesh Chandra is son of former MP Baijnath Kureel.
