3 held for fake CISF job racket
The Delhi police has arrested three persons for allegedly duping unemployed men and women by running a fake Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) recruitment racket, the police said on Sunday.
Jaswant Singh, 42, Baljeet Singh, 59, and Parvinder Singh, 36, were arrested from Rohini area in north Delhi Saturday, an official said.
According to the police, “They used to carry walkie-talkies, fake ID cards and also wore fake CISF uniforms while travelling in trains, so as to convince their victims that they actually worked in the CISF.”
The accused used to target unemployed men travelling in trains, with the promise of getting them employment in the Central Industrial Security Force, the police said.
The case came to light, when an FIR was registered by a national-level woman boxer from Chandigarh, who was allegedly cheated of `1 lakh on the false promise of direct recruitment in the CISF via sports quota.
“She was given a fake appointment letter and told to join the CISF national training centre in Hyderabad. However, when she reached Hyderabad, she was told that the letter was fake,” the officer added.
The police said they had duped at least six victims this year and 11 victims in 2012.
Apart from them, as many as 23 victims have filed police complaints alleging that they had paid the gang money for getting jobs.
