A vigilance team led by IG MV Rao visited the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) office on Friday morning and scrutinized documents related to irregularities in appointment of officers through civil service examinations. The team reached the office and verified the documents related to the civil service examinations. The team, however, failed to get any major breakthrough as several documents and papers concerning the civil services and other examinations were missing from the commission office. DGP Neyaz Ahmed, who also heads the vigilance bureau said there are several missing papers and the team went to verify and scrutinize the documents available with the commission related to the examinations. Ahmed said that investigation in the irregularities are going on and will be completed in stipulated time. Rao also said the vigilance team had gone to meet and seek relevant documents concerning the cases since a new chairman, RC Kaithal has taken over charge of the commission.

The government today informed the Assembly that a former Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) chairman was still absconding and the court was moved for sanction to attach his property. "He is still absconding, and the vigilance bureau is working on its sources to arrest him. A petition has also been moved in a special court for sanction to attach his property," HRD Minister Baijnath Ram said in the House. He was replying to a query by Marxist Coordination Committee MLA Arup Chaterjee whether the ex-JPSC chairman was still at large despite having an arrest warrant issued against him. The government had last year dismissed 19 government officials for allegedly clearing the JPSC exam in 2008 with "corrupt practices in collusion" with top officials of the JPSC. The vigilance bureau arrested a couple of officials while the ex-chairman is still absconding having earlier moved an anticipatory bail plea in a special vigilance court. According to a vigilance report, at least 20 of the total number of candidates who had appearded in 2008 civil service examination should not have qualified for interview itself. One of the top officials was recently arrested from Hazaribagh and sent to judicial custody.
