Central Railway Vigilance Team Dismantles Fake Recruitment Racket, Apprehends Fraudulent Handler

In a meticulously executed operation, the Central Railway Vigilance Team successfully exposed and apprehended a key player in a fake recruitment racket on December 13, 2023.

A specialized team comprising Vigilance Officials and Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel strategically set a trap to apprehend the fake recruitment handler at Ghatkopar station, within the Mumbai division. The perpetrator was caught red-handed with the bribe amount, marking a significant breakthrough in the investigation.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered by the Government Railway Police in Kurla under sections IPC-420 and 34. Ongoing investigations aim to identify and apprehend other individuals involved in this fraudulent recruitment racket.

The Railways administration emphasizes the importance of caution among the public, urging them not to engage with such fraudulent recruitment handlers. Government agencies follow a stringent and standardized process for selection and recruitment, and individuals are encouraged to be wary of any deviations from these established procedures.

In light of this incident, the Railways urges the public to refrain from approaching unauthorized recruitment handlers and to report any suspicious activities to the police or the concerned Vigilance department. This proactive approach is vital in maintaining the integrity of the recruitment process and ensuring a fair and transparent system.
