The accused visited the SSC eastern region office at Nizam Palace
The three reportedly arrived at Nizam Palace on AJC Bose Road around 2.30 pm on Monday in an SUV with a ‘Govt of India’ signage on it.
Police said Bose called himself a CBI deputy superintendent of police and Tanti a CBI sub-inspector and showed fake CBI ID cards and forged SSC-related documents. Kolkata: Three men, posing as senior CBI officers, reportedly tried to get confidential data of state school recruitment candidates from the Staff Selection Commission’s (SSC) eastern region office at Nizam Palace. The trio was arrested. Two of the accused, Biprarshi Bose and Subham Sagar Tanti, climbed up to the eighth floor of 1st MSO Building, where the SSC-ER office is located. The two allegedly claimed they needed candidate information for an ongoing CBI investigation. Based on a complaint by Surajit Basak, assistant director of SSC Eastern Region, an FUR was registered at the Bhowanipore Police Station for forgery, cheating by impersonation and criminal conspiracy under BNS. Police arrested Bose and Tanti at the SSC office and seized the fake identity cards, forged documents and other items. During interrogation, Bose disclosed information that led police to seize their SUV and arrest a third accused, Pallab Mondal. Police are examining if they were working for someone else and what their motive was.
