Malda Medical College notes fake recruitment racket

This two-page appointment letter with 56 names had the alleged false signatures of the MSVP Dr MA Rashisd and deputy superintendent Dr Jyotish Chsandra Das to recommend appointment for grade-4 employees in Malda Medical College and Hospital.

MSVP Dr MA Rashid claimed that his signature was forged. "It was neither my signature nor the original official seal used by me. I anticipate that the racket has been working to cheat unemployed youths against a large amount," Dr Rashid said. "Me or the deputy superintendent has no authority to recruit anyone in MMCH. I have lodged a written complaint with English Bazaar police station after the matter came to our notice," the MSVP added, as confirmed by a website.

Principal of Malda Medical College Dr PK Kundu said, "We are highly concerned after activities of such a gigantic fake recruitment racket have been detected. We are not taking it easily. We are sure that the signatures of the key officials of the institution like MSVP and the deputy superintendent have been faked. We believe that a thorough probe by police would bust the racket."

SP Prasun Banerjee said, "Police received a written complaint from MMCH authorities about a fake recruitment racket. A probe has already been started."
