Kolkata, Dec 28
West Bengal Police on Saturday said that its sleuths have cracked a major inter-state fake railways’ job racket.
According to the cops, the racket has its roots in the industrial-cum-coal belt of Asansol in West Burdwan district.
The cops have arrested two persons, both original residents of Asansol, from Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow and they were brought back to Asansol on transit remand on Saturday.
The arrested persons have been identified as Dinesh Kumar and Priti Arora a.k.a. Seema.
While Kumar is a resident of Durand Colony in Asansol, Seema’s residence is at Sukanta Pally also in Asansol.
Sources in the state police said that they were staying in Lucknow posing as husband and wife.
The investigation was initiated by the state police in November this year based on a complaint received from a youth from the neighbouring state who was duped of a few lakh rupees against promises of railway jobs.
