PANAJI
Almost a month after her arrest in multiple jobs-for-cash cases and abetment of suicide, Pooja Naik, alias Rupa Palkar, has been granted conditional bail. She was earlier bailed in a separate FIR related to the suicide of government employee Shridhar Satarkar, in which she was charged with abetment.
She remained in custody due to other charges against her.
Naik is one of the main accused in one of the largest government jobs-for-cash scams in recent years. Job aspirants were allegedly duped with promises of appointments in Indian Railways, Police, Public Works Department, Education Department, and other government departments.
Naik was arrested in cases registered at police stations in Panaji, Bicholim, Porvorim, Mardol, and other locations.
