Former Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) chairman Rakesh Paul will once again face interrogation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Assam police, reports emerged on December 23.
APSC Cash-For-Job Scam
As per sources, Rakesh Paul will be grilled by the SIT for the revelation of new information regarding the APSC cash-for-job scam.
The SIT was not satisfied with the information provided by the former APSC chairman during the interrogations. For this reason, he will be grilled once again for new facts and figures in connection to the infamous recruitment scam.
Rakesh Paul was released on March 28 after serving a jail term of more than six years. This comes after a special judge’s court on March 24 agreed to grant him bail in connection with the case filed against him for his role in the infamous scam. He was taken into custody in November 2016. He was granted bail under certain conditions.
As per sources, the SIT still does not have a clue as to how the marks of the candidates were increased. Meanwhile, the former principal controller of APSC examinations, Nanda Babu Singh was shifted to judicial custody earlier this month in connection with the APSC cash-for-job scam.
