CBI Busts Banking Recruitment Impersonation Racket, Arrests Four AccusedPreviousNext

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has uncovered a widespread impersonation and cheating network involved in banking recruitment exams across Delhi, Bihar, Haryana, and West Bengal. Following a complaint by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), the CBI conducted multi-state raids and arrested four individuals, including a CGST inspector. The accused allegedly posed as candidates during written exams and interviews, compromising the integrity of the selection process and disadvantaging genuine aspirants. Investigations are ongoing.
