‘Job appointment’ led to parking lot: Court upholds FIR against cop who ‘took Rs 3 lakh’
In a job scam case in Patiala, a senior constable allegedly offered to secure a government job for a computer teacher in exchange for Rs 3 lakh, which he paid in two installments. The constable then allegedly provided an appointment letter to the complainant, directing him to a parking lot instead of the promised government position.
The court upheld the FIR against the constable, stating that his actions were a serious abuse of authority and that the allegations of forgery were grave. The court emphasized the deep societal impact of crimes involving forged government documents and fraudulent job offers, making them non-compoundable in nature.
