With the arrest of three persons, Delhi Police today claimed to have busted a fake recruitment racket, which used to dupe people on pretext of providing jobs in Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
Jaswant Singh (42), Baljeet Singh (59) and Parvinder Singh (36) were arrested by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) from Rohini area in West Delhi yesterday.
"They travelled in white Gypsy, carried wireless sets, fake ID cards and also wore CISF uniforms so as to convince their victims that they actually worked in CISF. They had even set up a fake CISF website.
"They used to target unemployed youth with the promise of getting them employed in CISF. They usually picked up victims while travelling on trains," said a senior police officer.
The trio came on the radar of EOW after a complaint was filed by a national level boxer from Chandigarh in which she said that she was induced to pay Rs 1 lakh on the false promise of a direct recruitment in CISF against sports quota.
"She was given a fake appointment letter and told to join the CISF National Training Center in Hyderabad. However, when she reached Hyderabad, she came to know that the said letter was fake," the officer said.
The trio had duped at least 6 people this year and 11 in 2012. Apart from this, as many as 23 victim's applications were under process from whom they had taken token money, police said.
