GUWAHATI: Amid probe into the anomalies in the process of the recruitment of sub-inspectors (SI) in Assam Police, the chairman of State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB), Assam, Pradeep Kumar has resigned from his position.
The anomalies in the recruitment came to light after the question paper of the written test for sub-inspectors in Assam Police was leaked on September 20, hours ahead of the commencement of the examination.
According to reports, Pradeep Kumar has resigned as the State Level Police Recruitment Board chief taking moral responsibility of the question paper leak case which resulted in the cancellation of the written test.
Pradeep Kumar is a retired IPS officer of 1984 batch.
Assam Police have already nabbed a total of 13 people on charges of being involved in the question paper leak case.
With the government vowing to identify all the nexuses involved in the Assam Police Sub-Inspector recruitment question paper leak case, the Assam Police has decided not to leave any stone unturned to get to the truth.
While the now-retired police official, DIG PK Dutta’s name, is doing rounds in the scam, it is being suspected that many police officials who are currently in service might also be involved in the fiasco too.
