The Aam Aadmi Party has filed an RTI seeking details on the police's lack of action in a Rs 52 lakh fake Excise appointment scam in Goa.
AAP raised concerns about police inaction regarding a alleged Rs 52 lakh scam involving a fraudulent appointment to the Excise department in Goa. The party submitted an RTI to the state police seeking clarification on steps taken, timelines, and reasons for delay.
According to media reports, the case involves a bogus appointment letter that purportedly offered a lucrative post in the Excise department, for which a sum of Rs 52 lakh was allegedly paid. The alleged beneficiaries are said to have used forged documents to secure the position.
An AAP spokesperson said the delay hampers accountability and called for an independent investigation, urging the police to act swiftly and make the investigation public.
The police have not yet responded publicly to the RTI request. The matter is expected to be examined by the state’s anti-corruption agencies if the RTI reveals procedural lapses.
