KOLKATA: Sleuths in the Army’s eastern command headquarters and Kolkata Police are probing a job racket thriving in the city for nine years and suspect involvement of multiple current and former Army and paramilitary officers who have been training and supporting the fraudsters. In the past week, the officials have arrested five men and unearthed multiple hideouts in the city.
Sleuths said the fraudsters provided fake appointment letters to collect large amounts from the victims and had procured property worth several crores in Bihar and Kolkata.
