Around eight touts and six army personnel have been picked up so far as part of a drive to clean the recruitment process in the armed forces.
"We have been able to get hold of 8 touts and 6 army personnel, including 3 Majors and 3 Junior Commissioned Officers (Subedar Majors). They are being handed over to police for interrogation," said Col Bharat Kumar, Director (Recruitment) of Army Recruitment Office, Jodhpur.
The Zonal Recruitment Office had launched a drive in May with a view to break the nexus between the touts and army officers, he said.
Six agents were arrested on July 13 and two on July 14. They allegedly charged Rs 1.5 lakh from each candidate for their selection in the Army.
