"Strictest possible action", says Home Secy Shailesh Bagoli on alleged irregularities in UKSSSC in Uttarakhand

Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], September 22 (ANI): Uttarakhand Home Secretary Shailesh Bagoli on Monday assured that the government will take the "strictest possible action" against those involved in the alleged Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) paper irregularities case, stressing that the move will serve as a deterrent.
Speaking on the issue, Bagoli said, "The government will take the strictest possible action against those who are involved in the illegal activities in this case. This is the first case after a law on cheating was introduced. The action taken by the government will set an example."
Uttarakhand Director General of Police (DGP) Deepam Seth said that multiple police teams have been deployed to probe the UKSSSC paper irregularities case and assured that strict action will follow against those found guilty.
"Five police teams have been deployed to investigate the case, and the police have recovered substantial evidence in this matter. The investigation will be concluded soon, and strict action will be taken against those involved," DGP Seth said.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, UKSSSC Chairman Ganesh Singh Martolia said it appeared to be "an attempt to help a particular person."
Martolia said, "This is an attempt to help a particular person. The question is, how did the person (who took the photos of the questions) reach there (at the centre) when there was a jammer? This is an important aspect that we are working on. We are trying to catch the main accused. After that, everything will become clear. Strict action will be taken against anyone involved in this."
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajay Singh clarified on Sunday that no organised gang has been found so far.
"There were rumours that a paper had been leaked and that an organised gang was behind it. The investigation we have done so far has not revealed any organised gang that could prove this. At one centre, someone had sent screenshots of some questions. We have detained 2-3 people and interrogated them. Someone had done this in a planned manner," SSP Singh told reporters. (ANI)
