CBCID sleuths have issued summons to 12 people hailing from the same street who had cleared the Group 2A examinations conducted by the Tamil Nadu public service commission in 2011 in a village in Cuddalore district to appear before the agency in connection with a probe regarding their involvement in malpractices to clear the competitive examination.
Much to the surprise of many, two siblings each from four families had cleared the examination. All the 12 hailing from a street in Keezhakku Ramapuram in Cuddalore district presently serve as revenue inspectors, commercial tax officers and deputy tahsildars in various districts of Tamil Nadu.
“We issued summons to the 12 people asking them to appear on February 19 but later decided to postpone the inquiry and conveyed to them to appear as and when asked to do so,” said an investigation officer.
An anti-corruption forum in the district accused the 12 of indulging in malpractices to crack the Group 2A exam with the help of two brokers immediately after the exam in 2011. The forum had charged that the brokers, with the help of tainted TNPSC officials, leaked the question paper of the Group 2A exam to their clientele, including the 12 people, after receiving a huge sum of money from them in 2011.
The CBCID registered a case and arrested the two brokers in this connection. But the agency failed to make any further progress in the case. The issue has resurfaced now after multiple scams in the TNPSC recruitment process were reported recently.
The candidates from Cuddalore district were also allegedly involved in Group IV exam fraud. The agency said four people from the district appeared for the Group IV exam from two centres in Ramanathapuram district. The agency has so far arrested three people from Cuddalore district in connection with the Group IV examination fraud.
