Panaji, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday assured strict action against those allegedly involved in duping a person by promising him a senior post in the state Excise Department.
The post had become vacant after the transfer of Asvin Chandru, an IAS officer. Police are on the lookout for Shankwalkar, against whom the case is filed. During the investigation, police also found that the accused had given another letter with the forged signature of CM Sawant, claiming that Talekar had been hired. “No one would be spared. “It is truly unfortunate to see educated people falling prey to these scams. He also appealed to citizens to remain vigilant and verify suspicious communications with the government departments concerned.
One Manoj Talekar was detained on Thursday after he walked into the Excise Department office here with an “appointment letter” and said that he would be taking charge as Additional Excise Commissioner. I have asked police to investigate the case and arrest the accused,” he said. Graduates, post-graduates and even people who have previously worked in government service are getting duped,” he said. Sawant said that the state government will confiscate the properties of those involved in such fraudulent activities.
