CBI case: The CBI has registered a case in a big case of getting a job in the railway. The case is related to West Central Railway, Kota Division, where a pointsman (Sogaria, Kota) got a railway job with the help of a fake candidate.
In this case, the CBI has also registered a case against unknown railway officials and private persons. The CBI received this complaint from Railway Vigilance, West Central Railway Headquarters, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh), after which the investigating agency started action.
How did the fraud?
According to the complaint, the real candidate did not take the exam himself, but sent a dummy (fake) candidate. This fake candidate took the railway examination and its photos, fake identity cards and fingerprints were used. In this fake way, the real candidate got the railway job.
CBI’s big action
The CBI raided the bases of the accused in Kota, Karauli and Alwar (Rajasthan). Many important documents and evidence have been recovered during this period. CBI suspects that some railway officials may also be involved in this fraud.
CBI’s close watch on railway recruitment scams
Cases of recruitment scams in railway have been coming out before. Getting jobs through forgery shows serious disturbances in the country’s recruitment process. Earlier, cases of duplication, paper leaks and use of dummy candidates have been exposed in many states. There are examinations like Group D and NTPC for railway recruitment, which include millions of candidates but some gangs disturb the recruitment on the basis of fake documents and money.
Investigation continues, may be more revelations
The CBI is investigating the entire case in depth. The agency is trying to find out whether people inside the railway were also involved in this disturbance. If it is found, then there may be more arrests soon. Government and investigative agencies are taking such cases seriously, so that transparency in the recruitment process will remain and only qualified candidates get jobs.
