Kolkata, Nov 12: Three men have been arrested in Kolkata for allegedly posing as CBI officers to get confidential recruitment records from the Staff Selection Commission .
Police are looking into whether the accused were part of a wider recruitment racket.
Two of the accused, Biprarshi Bose and Subham Sagar Tanti, arrived at the SSC’s Eastern Region office at Nizam Palace on AJC Bose Road & drove into the complex in a Tata Nexon bearing a “Government of India” sign and markings identifying it as a Deputy Superintendent of Police’s vehicle.
They showed fake CBI identity cards and forged candidate files and asked for recruitment records and internal data, claiming they were conducting an official inquiry.
SSC officials grew suspicious and asked the men to show authorisation for the inquiry. The two could not produce it and allegedly admitted to forging the documents.
The officials alerted police, who apprehended both men. More reports awaited.
