Guwahati: Two Gazette officers received notices from the Biplap Kumar Sharma Commission on Thursday in relation to the 2018 Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) recruitment scam.
The two gazette officers have been identified as DSP Bhanita Nath and Superintendent of Excise Manavi Das.
The two officers are required by the commission to appear in court within 15 days.
According to the allegations, DSP Nath obtained the position of APS through dishonest means, and Excise Superintendent Das also faced similar charges.
Numerous pieces of information were provided to the BK Sharma Commission, upon which the notices to the two officers were based.
Few days back, former Principal Controller of Examinations (PCE) of APSC, ACS Babul Saharia said he was not handed over the keys to the strong room although as per rules the keys should have been with him.
Saharia said, “I was not given keys to the strong room. As per rules, I should have had the keys.”
He further alleged that they will send him in the evening.
He said, “I used to travel every day from Goreswar so what happened inside the strong room at night, I was unaware of it.”
He had stated that he quickly alerted the police to any abnormalities he noticed regarding the examination.
