Job racket smashed, three held

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, NOV. 24. Three persons, including a retired Army man, have been arrested by the New Delhi police on charges of duping people of lakhs of rupees on the pretext of getting them permanent jobs in the merchant navy. Certificates of several candidates and receipts of cash deposit to a bank were recovered from their possession.

Recently, Sub-Inspector Binod Kumar received a tip-off that a gang was cheating unemployed youths by giving them false promises jobs in the merchant navy. The suspects used to get advertisements published in leading newspapers in which they would give their contact numbers.

Acting on a tip-off that the suspects were near Gole Market, the police mounted a raid and arrested three of them on November 18. They were identified as Chander Bhan Sharma, Shankar Singh and Govind Singh. The police recovered from them educational certificates of candidates who had contacted them for getting jobs in the merchant navy.

Chander Bhan revealed that he retired from Tokhana regiment of the Army in 1995 and was then appointed as a constable with the Rajasthan police in 1998. He got the first posting in Jaipur and was transferred to Jodhpur the next year.

However, Chander Bhan did not report at Jodhpur as he had started duping people in Delhi and Jaipur on the pretext of providing them jobs. Finally, he was put under suspension and a departmental enquiry initiated against him. Chander Bhan revealed that he had opened four coaching centres in Jaipur to trap unemployed people.
