Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 3: A nonexistent organization is fleecing youth of the state by advertising number of vacant positions, application forms for which are on sale on several photostat shops, outside University of Jammu and other city colleges. Hundreds of innocent youth have sent demand drafts along with application forms to the fake address.
Unemployed youth informed Early Times that an organization under the name of Khadi and Village Handicrafts Development Council of India (KVHDCI) has advertised posts of Economic Investigator, Lower Divisional Assistant Clerk, Date Entry Operator and Attendant.
Application forms for the posts are available at all the photostat shops available in the vicinity of University of Jammu at Bikram Chowk, and other colleges including Commerce College, Parade College beside other areas.
Mohammad Qayoom Chouhan of Jammu University informed that along with application form, a bank draft of Rs. 450 in the name of KAVHD, was also sought. "The address for personal submission of forms on the advertisement notice is mentioned as Director Khadi and Village Development Council of India, 23/B Basant Vihar, Akhnoor Road, Talab Tillo Jammu, 180002, but when I personally visited the office, the owner of house scolded me and turned me out rudely", Chouhan said.
He further said that there was no contact number of any official of organization and even there was no official website available. Apprehending that it could be a fake advertisement, he went to the Bank for cancellation of Bank draft.
Another youth, Ashutosh said that when they asked the bank officials to cancel the draft, they refused and asked to contact head office. "We realized that it is a fraud but the kingpin will easily get the payment already made on name of KAVHD", they said, adding that if action would not be taken, the culprit would go scot free.
They further claimed that there was a large army of unemployed youth and more than five thousand youth had filled the form and also submitted money. "As an estimate, the kingpin has so far looted nearly Rs. 25 Lakhs and if the scandal is not be exposed, the kingpin will make foutunes", they said, adding that the last date for filling form was November 9 and more innocent youth could make payments.
Sushil Sharma, an advocate said that the involvement of Photostat shop owners, could not be ruled out in the entire scandal. "Cost of one application form is Rs. 20 and by selling 5000 forms, the Photostat shop owners, would have make Rs. 100000", he said, adding that earlier also, such nexus came to fore but police had failed to knock down the nexus, creating environment for miscreants to loot unemployed youth.
"After questioning the Photostat shop owners, the police can crack the entire case", he said, adding that some black-sheep in watchdog agencies, might be involved in the fraud.
Chief Executive Officer of Jammu and Kashmir Khadi Village Industry Board, Mir Afroz said that it might be a fraud and there was no such organization in Jammu and Kashmir. He further said that it might be an NGO, which were not associated with the Board.
KVIC Director Vijay Kumar Bagul said that no such advertisement has been made by KVIC. "If KVIC invites application for any posts, the advertisement notice is published in "Employment News" and on its official website", he said, adding that it might be a fraud. |
