The Thane Police will provide the details of these candidates to the Indian Army for further action against the selected candidates.
After busting the army recruitment paper leak racket in three centres — Goa, Nagpur and Pune — the Thane Police on Wednesday revealed that the career academies which were caught leaking the papers to aspirants had leaked an Army recruitment question paper in March 2016 as well, and 78 aspirants attending these career academies had passed the exam then.
The Thane Police will provide the details of these candidates to the Indian Army for further action against the selected candidates. The police have claimed that the ex-servicemen involved in the racket have confessed that they leaked question papers for "other competitive exams" too.
The Thane Police have provided a list of career academies involved in the racket to the Indian Army. These include Shaurya Academy, Captain Subhash Nirmale Career Academy, Tango Charlie Career Academy, Shiv Raje Chahtrapati Career Academy and Nashikkar Career Academy. They were allegedly involved in providing question papers to aspirants in hotel rooms, marriage halls and lodges. "During interrogation, the arrested accused have revealed that they provided question papers for a competitive exam held in March 2016, which also led to the selection of candidates," said a Thane crime branch police officer.
"A list of these candidates will be made and provided to the Indian Army for further procedure and their selection could be cancelled," said Param Bir Singh, Thane Commissioner of Police. "We have updated the Army about the involvement of three clerks, to which they have approved their arrest and we will interrogate them," said Singh.
"The owners of the academy had earlier paid the clerks Rs 50 lakh for the paper leak, and this time they had made a deal of Rs 1.35 crore. Our teams are conducting raids at Phaltan, and other career academies to seize the documents," said Singh. The police have alleged that the three clerks posted with the Army Recruitment Office in Nagpur are Hawaldar Ravindra Kumar, Dharamveer Singh and Nigamkumar Pandey. A police team left for Nagpur on Wednesday to arrest the three Army clerks. Dhaklu Patil, a hawaldar from Assam Rifles, will be arrested too for his alleged role.
