Guwahati Police bust inter-state job racket, three held

Guwahati: The Guwahati Police on Monday busted an inter-state job racket posing as a skill development agency and arrested three persons involved in the scam.

Acting on a tip-off, a team from Basistha police station under the East Guwahati Police District raided a house in the Bhetapara area, officials said.

During the raid, police seized several items including computers, suspected fake mark sheets, debit and credit cards, biometric scanners, blank cheques, mobile phones and Rs 2.05 lakh in cash.

According to police, the arrested individuals — two from Rajasthan and one from Haryana — were running a fake skill training setup. They allegedly fabricated student documents to fraudulently enroll candidates under the PM Vikas (Minority Project) Skill Development Scheme for financial gain.

Police said the accused have confessed to their involvement, and legal proceedings have been initiated against them.
