CBI arrests CRPF DIG for job scam
The CBI on Wednesday arrested a CRPF DIG for running a recruitment racket in which candidates were made to bribe their way
through for recruitment as constables in the paramilitary outfit. DIG Vinod Kumar Sharma, posted in Lucknow, was aided by CBI head constable B B Choubey in the racket, who too was arrested along with a tout.
Choubey was caught red-handed accepting a Rs 90,000 from one of the touts. During CBI raids in Lucknow, large number of slips containing details of prospective candidates were recovered.
‘‘We have a case against the DIG and his touts for running a recruitment racket for selections to the posts of constables, drivers and fitters in the CRPF. We found that the DIG provided information about recruitment to his touts, including head constable Choubey, who was originally in CRPF and networked with touts across states,’’ said a senior CBI officer.
The modus operandi of this well organised group included collecting information about recruitment schedules/vacancies, contacting prospective candidates and inducing them to bribe heavily in return of an assurance of selection.
