Kalpatta, Wednesday, January 12, 2011: The eighth accused in the PSC recruitment scam case in Wayanad, KB Shamsira who had surrendered before police on Tuesday, has been remanded to judicial custody by the Kalpatta Chief Judicial Magistrate Court today. The Court had remanded Shamsira while rejecting her bail plea filed in connection with the PSC job scam in which two persons obtained jobs in Revenue Department in Wayanad by fake Public Service Commission orders and advice memos.

Shamsira had been absconding after the news on the job scam was reported. She had obtained job in the Bathery village office as an LD clerk with the help of forged documents.

The main middleman in the job scandal Janardhan Pillai, who surrendered before the police earlier, said that there were plans to recruit more people by producing fake advices. JP told police officials that the scam was planned at the lodge in Thampanur in Thiruvananthapuram.

The fraudsters will trap the employees after making them believe that the collector can conduct appointments in supernumerary posts in backward districts of the state. Sooraj was the first appointed through bogus orders. They duo later changed it into a business as huge sums were allegedly paid by the job aspirants to the members of the racket.
