After the technical supervisor recruitment scam in Amdavad Municipal Corporation came to light, a request has been made to the municipal commissioner to investigate the marks awarded during the recruitment process for positions in the Fire department.

Manoj Kumar Patil, a fire safety officer at Bank of India in Mumbai, has raised concerns after he found himself just one mark short of securing the position of additional chief fire officer. 

Interestingly , candidates selected for the position of deputy fire officer scored three and five marks less than Patil. This has prompted him to question the integrity of the recruitment process.

The selection process for the Fire department positions, which included written exams, physical tests, and oral interviews, was carried out by AMC based on a 60-40 ratio of written exams to physical assessments. 

Patil has now formally reached out to both the municipal commissioner and the mayor via email, requesting a thorough investigation into the marks awarded to candidates during the selection process.

In his email, Patil has also raised concerns about the involvement of Pulkit Sathwara, who was suspended during the technical supervisor recruitment scam. Sathwara is alleged to have manipulated records in the Valuation department while working in the Western Zone, causing financial loss to the AMC. Patil is urging the authorities to probe Sathwara’s role in the recruitment process, questioning whether his actions may have affected the integrity of the Fire department recruitment as well.
