GUWAHATI: The Dibrugarh Police, who are probing the cash-for-job rip-off within the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC), have summoned 19 extra govt officers, together with police provider recruit Pallavi Sharma, daughter of BJP MP (Tezpur) R P Sharma, to look for handwriting checks after forensic exam of their answer sheets reportedly indicated several anomalies.
Those who were served with summons include 3 state cops, together with Sharma, 13 civil provider officers and 3 allied provider officers.
This isn't the primary time that names of APSC applicants having sturdy political connections have surfaced all over the probe. Earlier, high-profile applicants like Rajarshi Sen Deka, a civil servant and son of former agriculture minister Nilamani Sen Deka, BJP member Sumitra Doley's relatives Geetali Doley and Sunayana Aidew, niece of BJP MP Rajen Gohain, were arrested in connection with the case.
Additional SP Dibrugarh Police, Surjeet Singh Panesar, who's heading the probe, said, "All the candidates were from the 2016 batch and were asked to appear for the test at police special bureau headquarters in Guwahati on July 18 morning. Action will be taken based on the findings." Prior to this the police had performed equivalent checks which had resulted within the arrest of quite a few officers. Dibrugarh Police have been serving summons to several officers to look for equivalent checks below suspicion that they had paid huge sums to key accused Rakesh Paul, the previous APSC chairman, to forge their variety checks with fake answer scripts.
Investigations revealed how high accused Paul would provide fake answer sheets to several applicants to rewrite their answers after the true exam was over, which might then replace their authentic answer scripts.
