Guwahati: Guwahati police deputy commissioner of supervision and inspection (DCP-I&S) Harekrishna Nath said that the gang arrested in an alleged cash-for-jobs sam prepared fake employment letters for different state government departments in exchange for cash.
Additionally taking to the media, DCP Nath was quoted as saying, "The raid was carried out by ACP Himangshu Das and a team from Dispur police station. The gang made fake appointment letters for jobs in several state government departments in exchange for money."
Also, "Police are still looking for three persons in connection with the bust. So far, some personal documents and a computer have been seized from their possession."
"The gang used government seals and signatures to forge appointment letters. All seven of them will be presented before the court today. We will seek their custody for seven days."
The police conducted raids at GD lodge in the Borbari area and took them into custody. They reportedly registered names in a master roll for different government jobs and took money in return.
Moreover, Police are currently on the lookout for those controlling and running the racket. Rafiqul Hussain, who had booked three rooms in the lodge where the seven members were held, is on the run.
One of the members of the gang, Jayanta Das, was kept at the lodge last night in exchange for Rs 10,000. Police recovered forged appointment letters from various government departments. They reportedly scanned government seals and signatures and pasted them on the forged letters.
Of those detained during today's raids, none were employees of the master roll. Jayanta Das, a DTP operator, has been apprehended and his laptop and printer have been seized.
Officials also seized a list containing the names of several people. Laptops and documents were also seized from the others held in connection with the matter.
They prepared the fake appointment letters from the lodge, police said. The three masterminds in the case, however, remain out of reach of the police.
The seven brokers were identified as Nayan Saikia from Kahilipara, Sirajul Hoque from Mangaldoi, Jayanta Deka from Basistha, Jayanta Das from Goalpara and Gobind Choudhury, Noor Islam Ahmed and Pranjal Barman from Nalbari.
