Assam Police intensifies investigation in APSC cash-for-job scam

 STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: The Assam Police intensified their investigation into the cash-for-job scam in the APSC (Assam Public Service Commission) with inputs relating to the two absconding accused, including Rajib Paul, a sibling of former APSC chairman Rakesh Paul. The investigators have received inputs that the two absconding accused of the cash-for-job scam in the APSC have since been hiding in Nepal. However, they will have to ascertain it.

The investigators became more active after the State Government had asked them to intensify their investigation and not let any erring people in the scam go scot-free.

The investigators also got new information on the identity of Rakesh Paul. According to sources, Rakesh Paul was born in Mahendraganj, either in East Pakistan or in undivided India. He was a resident of East Pakistan after partition when Mahendraganj was bifurcated into two – one part falling in Garo Hills in India and the other part falling in East Pakistan. According to the police, Rakesh Paul came to Garo Hills in Meghalaya afterwards. According to the police, Rakesh Paul’s citizenship issue can be a matter of verification. He came to Guwahati in 1989 and did his LLM in 1995.
