APSC CASH-FOR-JOB SCAM: Answer sheets of five qualifying candidates not found

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: The Justice Biplab Kumar Sharma Commission, which is probing the anomalies in the conduct of the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE), 2014 of the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC), could not find the answer sheets of some of the candidates who had qualified in the exam.

According to sources, during the inquiry, the Justice Biplab Kumar Sharma Commission could not find the answer sheets of five candidates who had qualified in the CCE, 2014. Instead, the Commission found the answer sheets of some candidates who had not qualified in the exam. The Commission has now sought the views of the APSC in this regard.

The Dibrugarh Police had probed the multi-crore APSC cash-for-job scam. During investigation, the police seized all the answer sheets and submitted them to the Court of the Special Judge, Assam. The Assam Government later formed a one-man judicial inquiry commission headed by Justice Biplab Kumar Sharma, retired Judge of Gauhati High Court, to inquire into the allegations of anomalies and malpractices in the conduct of CCE, 2013 and CCE, 2014.

The Commission took the permission of the court to examine the answer sheets. While examining the answer sheets, the Commission could not find the answer sheets of five candidates who had qualified in the CEE, 2014 exam.
