It was reported that a whistleblower from the company wrote a letter to the COO and CEO, alleging that higher officials of RMG were receiving bribes from such staffing companies in exchange for employing the applicants. Once the situation was known, the IT Chief established a three-person team to look into the claims made in the letter. In the previous three years, the firm has employed 3,00,000 individuals, including contractors, and those included in the scandal may have earned at least Rs 100 crore through commission, according to an official investigation.
