Karanj police have arrested the candidates for paying bribes to secure appointment in the recruitment of technical supervisors in Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
Three individuals, including a young woman, who secured jobs through bribery, have been arrested.
Pulkit Sathwara, the head clerk with AMC and the main accused, allegedly tampered with data of three candidates by altering their marks before uploading them to the website.
Bharat Rathod, DCP Zone-2, shared that Sathwara tampered with the marks of candidates Monal Limbachiya, Tamanna Patel, and Jay Patel, and uploaded the altered marks to the website, thereby securing illegal jobs for them.
For this, Jay’s father Ashok paid ₹5 lakhs, Monal’s father-in-law paid ₹5 lakhs, and Tamanna’s father Dinesh still owed ₹7 lakhs. In this case, police arrested Monal, Jay, and Jay’s father Ashok.
During the investigation, the police discovered seven bank accounts belonging to the main accused, Pulkit, which have been seized. Moreover, as Pulkit is suspected of taking money from others under the guise of job offers, the police are interrogating several other suspects.
