The report claimed that Sayem Hossain, who claimed that he was the personnel officer of the land secretary, and Ukil Roy, a so-called teacher and a resident of Lalmonirhat, charged money from people with the assurance of providing them jobs at the land ministry.
Ukil Roy also forged the signature of the land secretary and provided fake appointment letters to the people from whom he took the money.
In accordance with the directives provided by the minister, Land Secretary Md Moksudur Rahman Patwary instructed the concerned branch to look into the matter.
Later, preliminary evidence of fraud was found and the complaint was lodged.
It should be noted that no recruitment activities have been undertaken by the ministry for more than two years for posts such as computer operator and other such positions. No appointments were made through outsourcing as well.
The land ministry also said that it has no involvement with Sayem Hossain and that he is not an employee of the ministry.
The land ministry thinks that the individual named Sayem Hossain is a thug and forger and he must be brought to justice.
The ministry said that the individual named Ukil Roy, who forged the signature of the land secretary and issued fake appointment letters, has committed a serious and punishable crime and must be brought to justice as well.
The Ministry calls on the citizens to immediately inform the law enforcement agencies if anyone demands money from them with the assurance of providing employment in the Ministry of Land or offices/agencies under the land ministry's jurisdiction.
The ministry sincerely requests all concerned to be careful and not to be conned by fake appointments.
