Congress Demands Thorough Probe into Goa’s ‘Cash for Job’ Scam

Panaji, Goa:

The Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) has formally requested a detailed investigation into the alleged ‘Cash for Job’ scam that has been making headlines in the state. In a letter addressed to the Director General of Police (DGP), the party has expressed serious concerns over the involvement of high-level individuals in this fraudulent activity.

The GPCC, in a recent press conference, presented evidence, including fraudulent offer letters and an audio recording, suggesting a well-organized scheme to deceive job aspirants and their families. The party has also claimed that the scam involves the manipulation of government recruitment processes to secure jobs for specific individuals in exchange for monetary benefits.

Following the press conference, Goa Minister Vishwajit Rane demanded an investigation against the GPCC for presenting false evidence. However, the Congress party has countered this claim, asserting that the evidence presented was genuine and part of a complaint filed with the Mardol Police Station.

The Congress has urged the DGP to take swift action and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, including probing the potential involvement of high-ranking officials. The party has also expressed concerns over the Minister’s reaction, suggesting a possible attempt to shield those involved in the scam.

The ‘Cash for Job’ scam has sparked widespread outrage in Goa, with the opposition demanding accountability and transparency in government recruitment processes. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the authorities will take decisive action to address the serious allegations and bring the culprits to justice.
