New Delhi: The CBI has lodged a case against unknown persons for allegedly taking out an advertisement in a national daily regarding recruitment in the ministry of rural development with the intention of cheating innocent people. The accused promised as many as three hundred vacancies in the ministry in different posts. They had asked the applicants to pay around Rs 500 as fee for applying to the posts. When the ministry came to know about such an advertisement, it conducted an inquiry and later lodged a case with the CBI.
A CBI source said that Anant Prakash Pandey, director of department of rural development at the ministry of rural development, complained in this respect after which a case was registered. The source said the ministry conducted an enquiry and found that some conmen were trying to dupe people by luring them into applying for jobs at the ministry of rural development.
