It is a good job that the Assam Police CID on Friday submitted the much-awaited chargesheet in the Sub-Inspector recruitment scandal case that had rocked the State three months ago. The chargesheet, running into 2,621 pages, has reportedly mentioned the names of 36 persons including one senior serving Assam Police officer and politically influential individuals as accused in the recruitment scandal. The CID submitted its charge-sheet before a special court in Guwahati on Friday. It was only the previous day that Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal had emphatically stated that all aspiring youths would get their deserving jobs in a transparent and accountable manner. As has been already reported, altogether 58 persons have been arrested by the CID and police from different districts of Assam for their alleged role in the SI recruitment scandal. The list included several top officers including senior APS officer Kumar Sanjit Krishna, a former DIG PK Dutta and a BJP leader called Diban Deka. What however is still intriguing is that the scandal had taken place despite the fact that the government recruitment agency - the State Level Police Recruitment Board – was headed by a very senior IPS officer called Pradeep Kumar, and that the CID has not as yet initiated any move to ask any question to him. The IPS officer quietly submitted his resignation even before the government removed him, and is likely to go scot-free. While the Government had cancelled the written examination to recruit 597 police Sub-Inspectors for the Assam Police after the question paper was leaked on September 20, 2020, the CID has so far seized cash amount to the tune of Rs. 6,26,69,440, among other things during the course of investigation.
