About The Complaint

 

The complaint was made by Pradeep Kumar Pandey, who made a plea before the court that an organised syndicate is running within the Basic Education Department, committing fraud on job seekers by misusing their degrees to make fraudulent appointments. He accused the scam of causing embezzlement of crores of rupees.

 

As per the petition, Anamika Shukla had been reportedly getting a regular salary from 2017 onwards, but in 2020 she stated she was unemployed. Inquiries later showed that she had never been officially appointed, but payments were being made on her name.

 

Previously, Shukla had also filed a complaint with the Kotwali Nagar police against misuse of her documents, stating she was unemployed and hadn't been appointed anywhere.

 

Police informed that the case has been registered according to the court's order and was given to Sub-Inspector Shubham Dubey for the investigation. The action will be taken further based on evidence, they further added.
