Madhya
Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has sbeen shielding senior officials, who were
deployed as observers for Madhya Pradesh Professional Examinations Board
(MPPEB), alleged a group of RTI activists on Tuesday.
Activists of
Soochna Ka Adhikar Andolan (SAA) said the revelation has come to light in a
reply to a query by Manoj Tripathi, a volunteer. It is learnt that about 30-40
senior officials including a former chief secretary of Chhattisgarh, former
director general of police, MP, were among the observers deployed by the board
for its various recruitment examinations held since 2010.
"Move to
deploy observers to oversee recruitment exams was taken after a scam broke out
in 2009. Interestingly, even after their deployment the condition remained
same," RTI Activist Ajay Dubey, who is convener of the organization told
TOI.
Why their
roles which as per RTI findings were similar to 'election observers' have not
come under scanner of the investigations agencies? Dubey asked.
"Not
only this, more scams will tumble out if investigated properly," said
Dubey.
