CHANDIGARH: Ravinder Kumar, the mastermind of the alleged police recruitment scam, often introduces himself as the DSP of the crime branch to win the trust of candidates. Ravinder Kumar was produced before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Rajni Kaushal on Saturday. The police remanded him in custody for 10 days. Police on Friday busted a fake police recruitment scam in Panchkula by arresting Ravinder, a resident of Panipat. The police informed the court that besides recovering the property in the case from different places, the whereabouts of other accused related to Ravinder will also be ascertained from other states. In addition to this, the accused must be taken to various places for identification to prepare the case file. The police said that people who helped Lavender forge documents, ID cards, etc. were also under their surveillance. Meanwhile, Panchkula police handed over the case files to detectives in the district for further investigation into the case. The Chief Minister’s Flying Squad, part of the Criminal Investigation Department, discovered the fake police recruitment scam run by Ravinder on Friday night. Ravinder was arrested when he went to Dharamshala in Panchkula’s Sector 10 to meet 11 so-called new employees. According to police, Ravinder would charge between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 15 lakh from gullible candidates. Police say he not only took money, but to gain their trust he would deposit one or two months’ salary advances into the applicants’ personal accounts. Police said he forged recruitment-related documents, appointment and posting information and fake police identification cards. Police added that Lavender even provided uniforms to the recruits for clicking pictures.
