GUWAHATI: A day after Criminal Investigation Department (CID) questioned Assam Police Service (APS) officer Kumar Sanjit Krishna in connection with the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment scam, his elder brother and Assam’s Chief Secretary Kumar Sanjay Krishna took to Facebook to react to the recent development. Chief Secretary Krishna later removed the post.
“I am used to mudslinging many times earlier too without any fault. My brother is a matured independent individual in a different profession. If he has done something wrong, law will take its own course on the basis of evidence. But, why drag my name, photo in media and focus me with some motives. This is cheap!” Kumar Sanjay Krishna wrote on Facebook.
The Chief Secretary said that he has been supporting independent and neutral enquiry from the beginning as directed by the Chief Minister.
“As Chief Secretary, I have been supporting on independent and neutral enquiry from the beginning as directed by Hon’ble CM and I believe whoever is guilty will be brought to justice. It has been brought to my notice that few individuals/officers are trying to keep the focus on me in the media instead of the enquiry for the reasons better known to them May God bless all!” he posted.
Earlier on Monday, CID questioned Superintendent of Police (SP)-ranked officer Kumar Sanjit Krishna and Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Prasanta Kumar Dutta in the question paper leak case.
Sanjit Krishna was serving as the SP of Karimganj district. On Sunday, the state government transferred Krishna from Karimganj.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, CID arrested three more accused—two police constables and a driver from Karinganj.
They reportedly carried the SI exam question papers from Guwahati to Karimganj.
