Fake job orders: one more held

MADURAI: The CBI arrested a textile merchant in Virudhunagar on the charge of cheating unemployed youths by promising them jobs in the Railways. Following complaints, a team swung into action and arrested Senthil Kumar of Kattayadevanpatti in Virudhunagar district and two others recently.

Senthil Kumar and his accomplices confessed that they had taken money from many unemployed youths in their locality and reportedly handed over the same to a Railway Protection Force Inspector whose name was given as Joyshan (56) and constable Baskaran (43) in Chennai. The gang had allegedly issued fake job orders to the youths who had given them money. This impressed many gullible people to follow suit. The CBI had arrested Senthil Kumar. Subsequently, RPF inspector and constable Baskaran were also apprehended, police said.

Probe revealed that textile merchant Kalidass (45) had also indulged in the crime. He was also arrested and produced before the CBI court Judge M.P. Jagannathan in his order on Thursday directed the accused to be detained in judicial custody till July 8.
