Jyothi had confessed to a private News channel she got appointment without appearing for PSC exam. “The job was secured by offering a sum of seven lakh rupees as bribe. We haven’t forged any document. They just asked for SSCL certificate, conduct certificate and photo. Abilash, UD clerk of Wayanad collectorate had worked as the middle man. Two of my brothers too had secured admission in the same manner.” Jyothi said. “When I asked for advice memo, Abilash asked me to tell others, who seek it that the memo is with ADM.” Jyothi entered on leave, when the UD clerk raised some doubts about the documents. When she asked for getting back the money, unless advice memo is not provided, Abilash informed he would get back after consulting others. Eight persons have been so far identified as secured jobs in revenue department in Wayanad, using forged documents. Reliable sources hinted that the files relating to all the eight, who got appointed using forged documents are missing.
