GUWAHATI : State Panchayat and Rural Development (P&RD) Minister, Naba Kumar Doley has ordered a CID probe into department’s recently concluded Combined Competitive Examination held last week.
The move came in the wake of multiple allegations that were made by the candidates who appeared in the department’s examination alleging paper leak and use of mobile phones during the exam period.
Doley today wrote a letter directed to the Assam CID and asked to look into the allegations of illegal use of mobile and internet inside the exam centers by some candidates.
Officials from the Bloom Electronics Private Limited, the Kerala-based company which conducted the examination, assured that they took all the precautions and preventive measures to validate the code of conduct but still, some candidates managed to carry their mobile phones.
Meanwhile, strong protests outside the P&RD office at Six mile in Guwahati continued on Thursday.
State P&RD Commissioner, J B Ekka had assured all the candidates that the department will look into the matter and take adequate actions on the issue.
Hours after the examination concluded on May 20, pictures of students using mobile phones had been making rounds in various social media platforms.
