Police and forensic officials have searched the Rishikesh office of Rajdeep Enterprises in an investigation into alleged fake appointment letters linked to jobs at the AIIMS Kichha Satellite Centre. The agency is also accused of seeking money from candidates in return for employment.
The team sealed and took away computers, laptops and other digital records from the office on Thursday. These materials are expected to assist the investigation into how the disputed documents were prepared and issued.
The search took place at the outsourced agency’s office located on the AIIMS campus. Only a Class IV employee was present when the officials arrived. Most other staff members have reportedly been absent since the matter came to light.
Investigators examine staff roles
Employee Soumya was not present during the search. Investigators have reportedly found her signatures on some documents suspected to be fake. Police have not yet established whether she knowingly signed them or acted under someone else’s authority or instructions.
Her precise role will be assessed through questioning and forensic examination. The available information does not establish that she committed an offence.
Police are also examining the role of local manager Vinayak. He has reportedly been missing since the day the alleged appointment-letter matter came to light, and the investigation is currently focused on his responsibilities.
Investigators are trying to determine the level of authority Vinayak held to issue appointment letters from Rishikesh. Officials may take further action, including possible arrest, after assessing the evidence collected during the inquiry.
Main office partners may be questioned
The investigation is also expected to cover Rajdeep Enterprises’ main office in Gandhi Nagar. Police are preparing to issue notices to the agency’s 2 partners for questioning.
The inquiry will examine the management structure, the approval process for appointment letters and the movement of digital records connected with the alleged recruitment process. No court finding has established guilt in the matter.
The seizure gives investigators access to electronic material that may help verify the origin of the documents and identify the people involved in their preparation. The police and forensic teams will assess the material as part of the ongoing investigation.
Prabhari Kotwal Rishikesh Naveen Joshi said the agency’s office had been searched and that laptops, computers and other digital documents were sealed. He also said Vinayak had been absent since the day of the incident and that both Vinayak and Soumya remained under investigation.
Conclusion
Police have secured digital evidence from Rajdeep Enterprises while examining the alleged fake appointment letters, the missing manager’s role and the involvement of other agency personnel. Further action will depend on the investigation and forensic findings.
