High Court had ordered CBI to investigate the entire matter.
In the JPSC Second Civil Services Examination merit scam case, ACB was the first to register an FIR and investigate the entire matter. Dissatisfied with the long drawn-out investigation of ACB in this case, Jharkhand High Court had ordered CBI to investigate the entire case.
Following the order of Jharkhand High Court, the Ranchi-based anti-corruption branch of CBI had registered an FIR on July 7, 2012. After investigating this case, CBI found the corruption case against 60 accused to be true in October 2024.
A charge sheet was filed against him in the special CBI court in Ranchi. In its charge sheet, the CBI had accused the accused of increasing the marks of the candidates by going against the rules, making short cuts in the examination of copies and increasing the marks in the interview.
In its charge sheet, the CBI had attached a report confirming that numbers in the copies had been tampered with in the Forensic Science Laboratory of Gujarat. The special court had also taken cognizance of this charge sheet of CBI.
Now ED will investigate this entire case and assess the financial transactions, assets of the accused etc., so that the investigation of the entire case can be completed on the point of money laundering.
