Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said that no bribes are the way for government jobs citing many youths fall prey to fraudsters.
His comment comes a day after the arrest of Old Goa resident Pooja Naik alias Rupa Palkar by Mardol police. The 39-year-old, reportedly her fourth arrest, is charged with duping a local of Rs 14 lakh.
Sawant also urged people not to fall prey to such fraudulent schemes, adding that Naik's arrest was initiated on his directive.
“Fraudsters are misleading job aspirants by claiming they can secure government jobs in exchange for money. When I learnt about her activities, I alerted the police. She has already been arrested four times before… No government job is obtained by paying a bribe,” he said.
“I don't understand why people pay bribes to get jobs. Don’t let these cheats deceive you,” he advised job aspirants.
Regarding the ongoing investigation into land fraud, the CM stated that the government will soon frame rules to reclaim no man’s land under the law. “It will happen soon,” he said.
