AP Health Department Reports Job Racket to CID
Unemployed youths ‘duped with fake appointment letters’
Vijayawada:The health department has lodged a complaint with the state CID about a racket in duping unemployed youths through the issue of fake appointment letters, interview call letters and appointment orders.
The CID has been advised to hold an inquiry to identify the culprits behind such an illegal practice.
Based on direction from health secretary G. Veerapandian, chief administrative officer Prakasa Rao submitted the complaint to CID director general Ravisankar Ayyanar here on Monday.
The complaint stated that some people created fake government emblems as also the official seals of both the central and state governments. They used the name of National Health Mission located in the office of health commissioner at Mangalagiri.
It said the miscreants were releasing fake employment notifications on social media platforms like WhatsApp, e-mail, telegram,Facebook etc and collecting huge money from unemployed youths with a promise to provide them jobs. “They sought more money from them towards processing fees, registration fees and certificate verification.”
The health department made it clear that any appointment in the department would be taken up by the AP Medical Services Recruitment Board and done through DSCR.
It advised unemployed youths to verify only the official website for information on employment, and lodge a complaint either with the police or with the health department, in case they find any suspicious messages or appointment letters given to them.
