The CBI has unearthed a large-scale recruitment scam, implicating 10 individuals, including a dismissed sepoy, in swindling job seekers with fraudulent promises of employment in the Army, Food Corporation of India (FCI), and Indian Railways.

Investigators revealed that the ringleader, Bablu Chauhan, exploited his position at Delhi Cantt to form a nexus of officials for orchestrating recruitment schemes, demanding money in return. Chauhan and his accomplices collected over Rs 1.43 crore between 2020 and 2022 from hopeful job candidates across Udhampur, Jammu, Kota, and Jaipur.

Chauhan and his network created elaborate ruses, including fake websites and medical certificates, to convince candidates of their employment. They even established a fictitious training institute and demanded additional fees. Candidates paid significant sums, only to discover the promises were fraudulent when they were denied joining letters and genuine positions.
