During investigation, it was found that each candidate had given Rs 10 lakh for the job under the ministry quota to the crooks, who contacted them through a placement agency in Hyderabad. The accused even conducted interviews inside Krishi Bhavan. ONGC officials informed the police after conducting an internal inquiry into the matter. Company officials told police that two men from Hyderabad came to their office on March 7, 2018 and showed their appointment letters for the post of graduate engineer trainees at Eastern Offshore Asset, ONGC at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. Later, the vigilance department of ONGC contacted the aspirants for more details and were informed that a job consultancy firm in Hyderabad promised them the job. The company's vigilance inquiry found that the signature on the offer letter had some resemblance to the officials from HR department. The examination of the email ID also indicated their origin from ONGC domain. "An insider's role cannot be ruled out as the landline number used for verification belongs to ministry of rural development in Krishi Bhavan," a company official said.
