CBI Investigates Rs 2.41 Crore Fake FCI Job Recruitment Scam in Haryana
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing a Rs 2.41 crore recruitment scam in Haryana, where unemployed youths were deceived with promises of Food Corporation of India (FCI) jobs. The accused allegedly staged written exams, medical tests, police verifications, and a three-month training program using forged appointment letters and documents. The racket, active between 2023 and 2025, involved at least 11 victims who paid between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 14 lakh each. The case emerged after a complaint by Sandeep Saini, who was introduced to the accused through local contacts claiming RSS connections.
