Man posing as ‘Army Intelligence' officer cheats aspirants with fake call letters; cops probe recruitment scam
PIMPRI CHINCHWAD police have launched a probe into a suspected recruitment scam, where a man posing as an 'Army Intelligence' officer allegedly duped several Army job aspirants. He promised them Army postings and handed out fake call letters—charging each victim between Rs 4 lakh to Rs 6 lakh. An FIR was filed by a 65-year-old resident of Chinchwad. The complaint alleges that false promises of recruitment were made to three of his family members—his nephew, daughter-in-law, and her brother—as well as a family friend, and were cheated of Rs 22.5 lakh over the past three years. The FIR registered at Chikhali police station names two persons — Santosh Thakur, who used to identify himself as an officer of the 'Army Intelligence' and his accomplice identified as Bajirao Patil. A probe has revealed that Thakur carried an identity card which purportedly identified him as an Army Intelligence officer and used to claim that he had contacts in the recruitment wing of the Army. He used to promise that he would ensure recruitment on civilian positions in the Army without any interview, physical or medical tests, the FIR has stated. Thakur told the complainant that he would take Rs 6 lakh for a graduate aspirant, Rs 5 lakh for a Class 12 pass candidate and Rs 4 lakh for the recruitment of Class 10 pass candidate in various civilian positions in the Army stores department. Thakur was introduced to the complainant by Patil. 'While the FIR is about four persons from whom Rs 22.5 lakh was taken by Thakur in cash, we have reason to believe many more aspirants could have been cheated by the accused. We are probing a suspected Army recruitment scam,' said an officer from Chikhali police station. 'After taking money from these aspirants, the accused sent them photos of forged Army recruitment call letters claiming their recruitment had been finalised and that they would be joining Army units. These fake letters had fake Army stamps, seals and names of officers making the receivers believe that they were genuine. After this, the suspects started giving reasons saying the recruitment had been delayed. It was after a while that these aspirants realised that they had been cheated,' the officer added. Several cases of fraudsters posing as Army personnel or claiming contacts in the armed forces have been unearthed by various police jurisdictions following inputs from the Military Intelligence of the Southern Command over the last few years. These cases have been reported from Pune, Nashik and Ahmednagar districts in which imposters posing as Army officers or personnel, wearing Army uniform and carrying fake identity cards, posting photos in Army uniforms on social media and many claiming contacts with insiders in Army have been arrested. In view of the presence of several key defence establishments in these districts, such cases of impersonation pose a serious threat to security, officials said. The investigators in these cases have recovered forged documents like identity cards, appointment letters, character certificates, service certificates and even tax deduction certificates, bank documents identifying the suspects as Army officers along with fake seals and letterheads of Army establishments in some cases.
