Dehradun, 7 Oct: The government has finally given permission to the Vigilance Department, to register cases against the culprits in respect of the irregularities in the recruitment of Sub-Inspectors in Uttarakhand Police in the year 2015-16. The case is related to Uttarakhand Police Sub Inspector Recruitment Exam 2015-16. The Vigilance Department has been investigating the case. After supposedly making sufficient progress in its investigation into the case, the Vigilance Department had sought permission to register case against the culprits.
It may be recalled that action is being taken in one after the other case with respect to the irregularities detected in conducting of competitive examinations for recruitment for various posts in different departments. Most such examinations in question were conducted by Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) while some were conducted by others. The examination for the recruitment of Sub-Inspectors was conducted by GB Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pant Nagar. Many arrests have already been made of accused in case of recruitments done by UKSSSC.
According to the sources in the Vigilance Department, preparations have been made to take action against the culprits in the Uttarakhand Police Sub Inspector recruitment case related to 2015. A preliminary inquiry has revealed that there were irregularities in the conduct of recruitment examinations and the following selection process for the posts of Police Sub Inspector, after which, the investigation was handed over to the Vigilance Department.
Permission had recently been sought from the government by the State Vigilance Department to file a case against the culprits in this respect. Sources confirmed today that the permission has been finally granted to go ahead in the case by the government after due consideration.
In this context, Additional Secretary Lalit Mohan Rayal has written a letter to the Director of Vigilance, informing about the permission to file cases against the culprits in the matter. The Uttarakhand Police Sub Inspector Recruitment Examination was conducted by GB Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pant Nagar in 2015, in which the preliminary inquiry revealed paper leak as well as tampering of OMR (Answer sheets). It is now expected that cases will be registered against the culprits on behalf of Vigilance Department soon now and also many persons are expected to be arrested. Also there is a strong likelihood of several Sub Inspectors losing their jobs if they are found to have been selected through irregularities.
