Lucknow, 30 August (HS). The STF has arrested a member of the gang who helped people pass the UP Police Sub-Inspector and Equivalent Recruitment Examination-20-21 with the connivance of some examination centre personnel from New Delhi. A reward of twenty-five thousand rupees has been announced on him.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Padmesh Kumar Shukla said that the arrested accused Shashikant, a resident of Dakshin Tola of Ballia district, was wanted by Hussainganj police station. He told that when the UP Police Sub Inspector and equivalent recruitment was announced, he and Ajay, BK Singh, all three used to call themselves employees in the secretariat. Under the same name, they used to cheat unemployed people in the name of helping them pass the UP Police Recruitment Examination. When Ritesh Yadav came in contact with Shashikant, he asked for Rs 15 lakh in exchange for helping them pass the Police Recruitment Examination. When Ritesh told this to his friend Atul, he came in contact with them and started collecting money in the name of helping other candidates pass the examination, so that his money could be saved.
During this time Ritesh got selected. When the Police Recruitment Board asked for his original documents, he could not show them. On this the Board cancelled his appointment. He went to the High Court. On the report presented by the Board, the petitioner was asked to submit his original documents within a month. Even on this he could not provide his documents. During interrogation it came out that all his documents were with Ajay and BK Singh. It was also found out that Ritesh was selected by passing the examination in connivance with this gang. On this the Recruitment Board registered a case against 11 persons in Hussainganj police station. Shashikant was also named in this case, on whom there was a reward of twenty five thousand rupees. The accused has been handed over to the police for further action.
