Dibrugarh Police are trying to ascertain as to whether more middlemen were involved in the APSC cash-for-jobs scam after the arrest of advocate Sailendra Sharma Barua and middleman Surajit Chowdhury who is also the husband of arrested ACS officer Pallabi Sharma Chowdhury.
A team of Dibrugarh Police raided Surajit Chowdhury’s residence yesterday (July 25) evening in search of a mobile phone that is now believed to be key in linking more people with the recruitment scam.
Police, however, failed to locate the mobile phone despite a marathon search at Chowdhury’s house located at Chatribari in Guwahati.
Meanwhile, amid accusations against Sailendra Sharma Barua and Surajit Chowdhury of trying to influence and bribe a judge so as to secure Pallabi Sharma Chowdhury’s bail, investigators are now probing whether any money was paid to the judge who, police sources say, has already been identified.
