Port Blair, Aug. 14: Instances have come to notice in various police forces in the country whereby some criminally minded individuals including police officials and political workers have tried to project that they can use their influence or ‘fix’ recruitment. The modus operandi is to accept money from whoever can be trapped into their net. When the results are announced there are bound to be some of these candidates who get in on their merit. The rest are refunded their money after retaining a portion of it as ‘expenses already incurred’, and excuses are made that they were late in joining the scheme, etc.

People duped by the above process also spend their entire lives feeling they did not deserve the job, but have got it in an underhand way.

All members of the public and all candidates are warned not to be misled and cheated.

The A & N Police will go strictly by merit, the Director General of Police, A&N Islands, Shri SBS Deol said today. Deol said that he is personally overseeing the entire on-going process of recruitment of Sub-Inspectors, which is also being videotaped.
