Palamu CS lodges FIR against fraudsters posing as employers

Daltonganj: Palamu civil surgeon Dr John F Kennedy on Wednesday said he has lodged an FIR against two persons who were allegedly trying to dupe people by promising them jobs.
In his FIR lodged with the Town police station on Tuesday night, Kennedy named one Aman Mishra and Subhal Patra.
Talking to TOI, Kennedy said he lodged the FIR on the basis of complaints of two men, D Vishwakarma and K Tiwari. “Vishwakarma and Tiwari complained that Mishra and Patra telephoned them and asked them to deposit Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,000, respectively if they wanted to bag the job of ANMs,” Kennedy said.
The district health machinery had in 2019 invited applications for recruitments to the posts of ANMs, nurses and others, but the recruitments were stalled due to Lok Sabha polls and state assembly election. Slated to resume in March this year, the process was stalled again due to the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 240 applications have been received for these posts.
Palamu SP Ajay Linda said: “The numbers of these two men have been noted down for tracking and the officials of the nationalized bank concerned have been asked to freeze the account.”
