The IGP equally assured that the process would be “conducted in the best tradition of transparency and accountability”.
He admonished all applicants to be wary of “online imposters, scammers, and other criminal elements who might want to take advantage of the recruitment process to dupe innocent applicants”.
He, however, warned that anyone found wanting in this regard would be arrested and prosecuted.
