The CBI has booked the wife of a Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Commandant and two constables for allegedly running a recruitment racket in the force. The role of other SSB officers is being examined.
The accused persons have been identified as constables Mukesh Kumar Chaodhari and Puranmal Gurjar, besides Anjali Sharma, wife of Commandant S.K. Sharma.
Based on a written complaint against an SSB Inspector-General, a Commandant and others, including the accused persons, the CBI in February 2021 instituted a preliminary enquiry against them for their involvement in corruption practices in the recruitment of drivers/tradesmen through an examination in 2016. The candidates in question or their family members were also complicit.
