Ex-JPSC chairman, former members booked in job scam
June 13th, 2010 - 12:12 pm ICT by IANSRanchi, June 13 (IANS) At least 32 people, including an ex-chairman of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and three former members, have been booked for alleged irregularities in the appointments of 19 administrative officers, officials said Sunday.
A first information report (FIR) was lodged Saturday night against Dileep Prasad, the ex-chairman, and three former members - Radhagovind Nagesh, Shanti Devi and Gopal Singh - for the “wrongful” appointments of 19 officers, most of whom have been found to be relatives of politicians and ex-JPSC members.
“FIR has been lodged against a total 32 people. A special team will be constituted to probe the results of JPSC. The copies of all qualified candidates will be probed in the interest of the investigation,” Inspector General of Jharkhand Vigilance Bureau M.V. Rao told reporters.
In an examination conducted in 2007-2008, a total of 172 people qualified for different posts, including deputy superintendents of police (DSPs), block development officers (BDOs) and others. The vigilance bureau has initially probed the copies and marks obtained by 37 qualifying candidates and found that 19 were appointed in a wrong manner. These 19 officers include six DSPs, and eight BDOs, with the remaining belonging to the state finance services.
Jharkhand Governor M.O.H. Farook had on June 9 granted permission to lodge FIRs against Prasad and the former members for the alleged irregularities.
