MADURAI: The Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Friday ordered transfer of a case -- relating to impersonation in an examination conducted by Indian Ordnance Factory -- from the KK Nagar police in Trichy to the CBI.
Defence ministry's Indian Ordnance Factory conducted the examination in Jamal Mohamed College in Trichy in 2015 to recruit people to different posts.
Later, it was found that the fingerprints of two candidates didn't match. Following this, Indian Ordnance Factory general manager (Trichy) Dr C Ariyasakthi lodged a complaint with the KK Nagar police who in turn registered a case and started investigations. The police arrested Repeh Shibu Dey of Nagpur in Maharashtra and K Bharat Singh of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh in 2016.
Recently, the general manager filed a petition in the high court bench seeking to transfer the investigation to the CBI alleging that there was no further development in the case. On Friday, Justice PN Prakash heard the case. Inspector of the KK Nagar police station informed the court that the arrested two men had got bail.
The judge said, "It prima facie appears that a scam has occurred. The perusal of case diary of the police shows that they are looking for six people who are said to be living in north Indian states. Thus, the case is directed to be transferred to the CBI's Anti -Corruption Bureau, Chennai. The KK Nagar police, after obtaining order from Trichy city police commissioner, should hand over all relevant materials to the CBI."
