The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday registered an FIR against a teacher from Bihar and unidentified public servants in connection with an alleged recruitment scam in the Assam Rifles in Jorhat.
The FIR has been registered under section 120 criminal conspiracy, 420 cheating and prevention of corruption act 1988.
The case was originally registered by the Assam Police in 2019 and has been taken over by the CBI at the request of the state government.
According to the FIR, a departmental inquiry conducted by the Vigilance Wing of the Assam Rifles in Shillong found that Yashwant Kumar, a teacher from Bihar, was acting as a middleman in connivance with some personnel and doctors of Assam Rifles to recruit candidates.
