The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrests four people, including a CGST inspector, in connection with a multi-state banking recruitment impersonation and cheating racket. The CBI describes the alleged scheme as involving people who physically pose as candidates and infiltrate stages of the selection process, including written examinations and interviews.
According to multiple reports, the case begins with a complaint filed by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), prompting the CBI to register an FIR and carry out searches. Outlets report coordinated raids conducted across several states, including Delhi, Bihar, Haryana and West Bengal, led by the CBI’s Mumbai Special Task Branch. While one account highlights the impersonation aspect as a means of undermining public examinations and depriving genuine candidates, all sources agree that the arrests followed the IBPS complaint and that further investigations are ongoing into other alleged participants.
