KOLKATA: For MCA student Shubh Prakash Singh, it was a scheme that would rake in the moolah with every click of the mouse.


The 25-year-old Delhi resident simply replicated the website of the Kolkata office of the Railway Recruitment Board and promised jobs to candidates. It was computer applications' at its most cunning, but the youth was found out. He was arrested and brought to Kolkata on Thursday.

Singh had launched the website www.railwayrecruitmentboardkolkata.com some months back and used an alias to cover his tracks. When the chairman of the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) in Kolkata, D K Srivastava, spotted it, he immediately smelt something fishy, as the original website of the board is www.rrbkol.org. On February 20, he lodged a complaint with Ultadanga police.

The site was meticulous: Forms to apply for jobs and every other detail was posted on it. The case was finally taken up by the detective department's cyber crime cell.

"Singh had replicated the website and, under the Contact us' column, he had given his details. Whoever applied for a job through the website had to get in touch with him," said an officer of the detective department.

The cyber crime cell got in touch with the service provider. It was found that the site was owned by one R K Gupta. An address of New Delhi's Vasant Kunj was given. Investigating the case, the city police team found out that the name and address were fake.

"The site was registered under the name of R K Gupta and the internet service provider was a private one," said an officer. With the help of the service provider, police tracked down the IP address and nabbed Singh from his Pandavnagar residence last Tuesday. He was brought to Kolkata on Thursday. He was produced at the Sealdah court, which remanded him in police custody till August 3.

Sources said that so far, they have not been able to find anyone who fell for the trap. "We are trying to find out if anyone applied through the website," said Jawed Shamim, deputy commissioner of police (detective department).
